Industrial Hygiene Walk-Through Survey Report of Motorola, Incorporated, Semiconductor Group, Phoenix, Arizona, Photovoltaics Area,

PB88236971

Publication Date	1979
Personal Author	Briggs, T.
Page Count	28
Abstract	A walk-through survey was conducted at the Motorola, Inc., Semiconductor Facility, Phoenix, Arizona, where research was being conducted on photovoltaic process technologies and finished modules were being produced. The photovoltaics area included processes from wafer to finished module production. Processes used were described, including wafer cleaning and etching, texture etching, junction formation, metallization, and module assembly. Results of the survey indicated that industrial hygiene controls were excellent, with model chemical handling and accident prevention systems. The company safety manager and safety engineer inspected all equipment before installation or operation. Medical records were maintained for all personnel. The approach for ventilation control and chemical handling was to provide complete control for all operations and all possible air contaminants.
