Abstract
A semiconductor manufacturing facility has a proper strength and an anti-vibration effect. The semiconductor facility contains processing apparatuses, installation tables and an installation floor. An apparatus having a vibration source is installed on an installation table having a rigid structure. The installation table is installed on the installation floor having a floor construction including a plurality of columns, which support a floor member extending in horizontal directions. An interval of the columns is 4 m to 12 m.
Claims6
A semiconductor manufacturing facility including an apparatus having a vibration source, comprising:
- an installation table having a rigid structure on which the apparatus having a vibration source is installed;
- and
- a floor construction on which said installation table is installed,
- wherein said floor construction includes a floor member extending in a horizontal direction and a plurality of columns supporting the floor member, and said floor member has an accelerance calculated by:
- converting an allowable vibration value expressed in acceleration of said apparatus into a ⅓ octave-band peak hold analysis rms value;
- performing a frequency analysis on a vibration-force time history waveform obtained from said apparatus so as to calculate a ⅓ octave-band vibration force expressed in ⅓ octave-band peak hold analysis rms value;
- calculating a necessary accelerance ACCLnec by dividing the allowable vibration value by the vibration force obtained by performing the frequency analysis in a range of observed frequencies;
- setting a safety factor k to a value in a range of 2 to 7 in accordance with a number of vibration sources around said apparatus and magnitude of vibrations from the vibration sources so as to eliminate influences of vibrations transmitting from the vibration sources;
- setting a set accelerance ACCLest by dividing said necessary accelerance ACCLnec by the safety factor k;
- and
- determining an accelerance to be used for construction design that covers any value of said necessary accelerance ACCLnec that varies with frequencies of vibration from said apparatus.
