Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a system that can monitor the amounts of energy consumption during CVD and etching process for semiconductor manufacturing. Specifically, this system is designed to measure the $CO_2$ emission amounts quantitatively by measuring the flow rate of gas used and amount of power consumed during the processes. The processes of CVD equipment can be classified generally into processing step and cleaning step and all the two steps were monitored. In CVD and etcher equipments, various gases including Ar and $O_2$ are used, but Ar, $O_2$ and He were monitored with the use of the LCI data of Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute and carbon emission coefficients of EcoInvent. As a result, it was found that the carbon emission amounts of CVD equipment for Ar, $O_2$ and He were $0.030kgCO_2/min$, $4.580{\times}10^{-3}kgCO_2/min$ and $6.817{\times}10^{-4}kgCO_2/min$, respectively and those of etcher equipment for Ar and $O_2$ are $5.111{\times}10^{-3}kgCO_2/min$ and $7.172kgCO_2/min$, respectively.
