This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18980249 titled 'AIRBORNE CONTAMINANT MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM
Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes: generating a contaminant distribution map by sampling an environment of a cleanroom; selecting a first fabrication tool of the cleanroom by comparing the contaminant distribution map with at least one diffusion image in a first database; comparing parameters of the first fabrication tool against process utility information in a second database; and when the parameters are consistent with the process utility information, taking at least one action. The one action may include moving a cleaning tool to a location associated with a contaminant concentration of the contaminant distribution map; turning on a fan of the cleaning tool; stopping pod transit to the first fabrication tool; or halting production by the first fabrication tool.
