International SEMATECH Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR 1 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to provide a representative set of utility costs for semiconductor manufacturing. The utility costs are intended for general use by semiconductor device and tool manufacturers as part of cost of ownership (COO) calculations. System specialists should be consulted about detailed questions. The utility costs developed during this study (see Table 3) are categorized as variable (operating) costs, capital costs, indirect variable costs, and indirect capital costs. Cost organization is shown in Figure 1. Cost Per Unit Depreciated Capital Cost / Unit Direct System Capital Cost / Unit Operating Cost / Unit Indirect Capital Cost / Unit Figure 1 Direct Operating Cost / Unit Indirect Operating Cost / Unit Utility Cost Relationship The costs developed will assist suppliers in optimizing the design of tools with respect to capital cost and utility consumption by providing the data necessary for evaluating the cost effectiveness of designs. Of particular significance are the costs associated with factory electrical energy and exhaust usage. For factory electrical energy, the study identified frequently overlooked costs related to removing spent electrical energy in the form of heat. These costs increased the purchase price of electricity by 30%. Similarly, the analysis of exhaust identified the cost of make-up air to replace the exhaust as the primary cost component. Further, the cost of make-up air comes primarily from the capital costs and operating costs of the chiller plant used to condition the make-up air. 2 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Participation International SEMATECH (ISMT) Environment, Safety, and Health (ESH) staff and the Energy Project Working Group developed this study with Industrial Design and Construction-CH2M Hill (IDC.CH2M), the consultant on the project. Work was conducted over a 3-month period in the fall of 2001. International SEMATECH Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR 2 2.2 Purpose Management frequently needs information about utility costs to make decisions about semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This is particularly true of decisions related to energy and environmental projects. To assist with decision-making, ISMT funded the development of a representative set of utility costs. These costs are intended for first order decision-making related to utility costs associated with the major systems in a semiconductor manufacturing facility (fab). In addition, it is expected that these costs will be used for COO calculations associated with manufacturing tool design and selection. The availability of a common set of metrics should provide for better and more consistent decision-making and more cost effective tool design. 2.3 Scope The scope of this study included developing a representative set of utility costs for a high volume manufacturing (HVM) fab. Costs are developed on the basis of a cost per unit of use. The study included an examination of the major utility systems found in a modern fab. Costs do not include the cost of the building shell space, which were excluded because spaces and structural elements are frequently shared. This results in significant problems associated with cost allocation. This exclusion is not considered significant. Costs developed include the following: • Variable (Operating) Costs: Those costs associated with the purchase of a utility or the operation and maintenance of the system. • Depreciation Costs: The capital cost related to a particular utility system amortizes over 10 years. • Indirect Variable Costs: Variable costs of other fab systems used to support the utility of concern. Costs of purchasing utilities from outside sources are associated with only one system. • Indirect Depreciation Costs: Depreciation costs of other systems that support the utility system of concern. The costs identified in this report are based on a fixed set of conditions (see Section 5 for a description). 2.4 Use and Limitations The costs are intended to be representative of an HVM fab. For certain systems, economies of scale are associated with the relatively large size of the systems used in HVM fabs. The costs are expected to be representative of relatively wide ranges of capacity. Costs should not be used for research or development scale utility consumption. Utility purchase prices were established by ISMT and member companies. They may vary significantly based on geographical location or specific contract negotiations. Austin, Texas, was used as the base climate because it has a moderate climate and is representative of many places where semiconductor fabs are located. In most cases, cost should not need adjustment because of climate. However, some extreme situations may require adjustment. Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR International SEMATECH 3 Capital costs include purchase and installation costs for equipment pad, distribution loop, and purchase controls. Costs of a facility management system (FMS) and hookup of individual tools served by the system utility are not included. The capital cost assigned to the utility unit cost is an annual 10-year straight-line depreciation divided by the annual capacity of the system. This is an assumed capital allocation rate, not a tax calculation. The components of each utility system are intended to represent current “state of practice” in manufacturing. They are not intended to reflect leading-edge technology that is not in common use. The manufacturing technology does not significantly impact the unit cost of utilities. This study facility is based on a 0.18 µm logic technology. The costs developed in this study are intended as a first-order approximation across a broad spectrum of facilities. Individual fab costs should be developed for critical decisions. 3 STUDY METHODOLOGY A relatively large (10,000 m2) 200 mm HVM manufacturing facility was used as the base case. The target technology was 0.18 µm logic. The utility systems are described, sized, and costed. The capital costs of each system reflect the economy of scale associated with the system capacity. Capital costs also include the costs of system distribution requirements. Capital costs are based on actual information from several fabs. When available, normalized actual data were used rather than concept data. Initial concepts were reviewed by ISMT and member company representatives. Input from the review process was then used to adjust the results. The study team focused on major cost drivers. However, some minor (but controversial) costs were left in the study for completeness. Most others were ignored. 4 SUMMARY OF STUDY DELIVERABLES AND THEIR USE The study resulted in three deliverables: • This utility cost study report • A utility cost spreadsheet • A utility infrastructure design cost model (Excel model) 4.1 Utility Cost Study Report This report describes the HVM fab that was used as the basis for utility sizing and costs. A typical plan and section drawing of the building are included (see the appendix). Each working system, system features, characteristics, and technology are also described. A block diagram of the system is included for complex systems (see the appendix). International SEMATECH Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR 4 4.2 Utility Cost Spreadsheet This report provides the following tables: • Table 1 provides average purchase prices for utilities and bulk chemicals commonly purchased by a semiconductor fab. • Table 2 summarizes the major fab utility systems and the “total cost” of the utility per unit of use. The total cost includes capital and variable costs as shown in Figure 1. • Table 3 presents some examples of the annual savings that can be achieved by reducing one unit of exhaust, UPW usage, and wastewater treatment. This table allows an engineer to quickly estimate the annual savings of reducing the exhaust flow at a wet bench, for example. • Table 4 is a printout of the utility cost spreadsheet. For each system, it lists the base case capacity, capital cost, depreciation period, variable cost, depreciation cost, indirect variable cost, indirect depreciation cost, and total costs. The utility cost spreadsheet is an electronic version of the utility costs shown in Table 2. It is intended to provide a means of update and distribution. Current versions of the spreadsheet will be available on the ISMT public website. Users are advised to check the website for the latest information. 5 MODEL FAB AND UTILITY SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS Following are descriptions of systems used as a basis for identifying costs. In many cases, alternative technologies or technology variations may be used at a particular fab. However, the study required the development of a specific situation for cost purposes. It is assumed, to a first order approximation, that alternative designs would result in similar costs. System sizes are based on “rate of use.” Cost is based on “quantity use” of one unit. 5.1 Fab Description To establish a utility cost basis relative to system size and utility quality, a fab design basis was established as follows: • Technology – 0.18 µm – 200 mm – Logic (ISMT process) • Fab Area 10,000 m2 (110,000 ft2) • Location – Austin, TX • Capacity – approximately 30,000 wafers/month • Cleanroom Concept – Ballroom w/minienvironment – Class 1000/100 turbulent – 25% ultra-low particulate air (ULPA) coverage @ 90 fpm high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) velocity; filter fan unit (FFU) cleanroom recirculation system Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR International SEMATECH 5 Utility system technology and performance requirements conform to International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductor (ITRS) requirements. The above design basis was used to develop utility unit costs that are generally appropriate over a wide range of fab designs and for technology from 0.25 to 0.13 µm, 200 mm or 300 mm, logic, memory, and ASIC manufacturing. For fab plan and section drawings, see the appendix. 5.2 Electrical System The electrical system consists of four major subsystems: a high voltage substation at transmission voltages, a normal electrical power distribution system, an emergency/standby electrical power system, and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system. High Voltage Substation: Assume that the high voltage substation is not owned by the fab. The cost is not included. Normal Electrical Power Distribution System: Includes overcurrent protection equipment, isolation equipment, transformers, switchgear, and distribution system up including the final panel serving a tool. Emergency/Standby Electrical Power System: Assume multiple individual emergency generators (piston engine diesel fired.) Costs include the generators associated electrical system and fuel system. Because the system is normally off, no variable costs are associated with the system except maintenance. The cost of emergency power adds to the cost of normal power. UPS System: Assume this to be a 15-minute battery back-up system. The UPS system is backed up by the emergency power system. It is assumed to be normally off with no variable cost except maintenance. The cost of UPS adds to the cost of emergency power. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.3 Factory Electrical Energy (Tools, Equipment and/or Lighting) A special utility was created for electrical energy used within the fab manufacturing space. The utility does not consider the capital cost of using the tool, equipment, or lighting system. The utility assumes electrical energy is used and dissipated to the factory as heat, which is removed by the chilled water system. The utility thus represents the “real” cost of electrical energy used inside the factory. This cost should be used when heat removal is required but not otherwise accounted for. No drawing is provided. 5.4 Chilled Water System (CWS) The chilled water system is a closed-loop system. It has no variable cost except maintenance. (Some insignificant variable costs are associated with the cooling tower water usage and chemicals; they are not included.) The primary indirect cost is electrical energy. The system consists of water-cooled, centrifugal chillers manifolded together in a primary chilled water loop. Cooling towers and the condenser water piping system are part of the system. The chilled water distribution system cost is included as part of this system. Chilled water is supplied to HVAC systems and other facility systems such as process cooling water (PCW). Chilled water is not supplied to tools. International SEMATECH Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR 6 See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.5 Process Cooling Water (PCW) System The PCW system supplies cooling water to manufacturing tools. It is a closed-loop system with recirculation pumps, a surge tank, and other equipment. Water quality is maintained with ion exchange canisters to produce the final PCW water at 200 to 500 kΩ-cm. Heat absorbed into the system is rejected to the CWS by a heat exchanger. No significant variable costs are associated with the system except maintenance. Significant indirect costs are electrical power (for pumps) and the CWS. The design is for a 10˚F delta T. In practice, the increase in actual temperature is normally much lower. For cost calculations, a 3˚F delta T was used. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.6 Ultrapure Water (UPW) System The UPW system is a continuously recirculated water system from which water is drawn. UPW water quality is assumed to align with the ITRS requirements for 0.18 µm technology. The study system is sized and costs are estimated based on water use. It is important to recognize that occasionally UPW systems are referred to by the quantity of water recirculated or by the quantity of make-up water. Recirculation water quantity is determined by the need to keep pipe velocities high enough to minimize biological growth. Make-up water is the sum of water used plus water rejected by the purification system. Quantities of rejection water are primarily determined by the quality of raw water. For this study, rejection was assumed to be 25% of the water used. The UPW system uses raw water as a direct utility. The raw water cost is assumed to include any local sewage fee. The other primary variable cost is operation and maintenance. The UPS distribution system is polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piping. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.7 Hot Ultrapure Water (HUPW) System The HUPW system is assumed to be an electrically heated non-recirculated water system that is fed from the UPW system. Heating units are assumed to be distributed throughout the subfab near tools that use HUPW. Such a system tends to have lower installation costs but higher variable costs than alternative designs. Alternative designs include 1) central distribution and recirculation with steam or hot water heating and 2) steam-heated non-recirculated systems. Piping material is PVDF. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.8 Industrial City Water (ICW) The ICW system is a simple steel pipe water distribution system with no recirculation. It uses raw water as a primary utility. The raw water is filtered but otherwise not improved. The only significant cost associated with this system is the raw water cost, which is assumed to include any local sewage fee. No drawing is provided for this system. Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR International SEMATECH 7 5.9 Acid Exhaust with House Scrubber System (AEX ) The AEX system consists of a fab-wide distributed fiberglass collection system, exhaust fans, scrubbers, and a scrubber working solution recirculation system. The scrubber solution is water with NaOH for pH control. The solution pH is continuously monitored and controlled. Utilities used include raw water and NaOH; however, their cost is a very minor contribution to the cost of exhaust. For exhaust cost analysis, it is most important to consider the electrical cost associated with the fans and the cost of fab factory air being exhausted. The fab factory air is temperature- and humidity-controlled air that has been supplied by the make-up air system. The indirect cost of the AEX system includes the cost of the make-up system and related costs associated with the CWS and electrical system. Some fabs have an ammonia exhaust system. Ammonia exhaust is normally on the order of 10% to 15% of the AEX. If a separate ammonia system is used, the cost per unit of exhaust is approximately the same as the AEX system costs. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.10 Solvent Exhaust with VOC Abatement System (VOC) A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) system is used to destroy VOC vapors collected in a galvanized steel solvent exhaust collection system. An RTO is basically an incinerator with separate chambers containing beds of ceramic media that recover heat energy from the hot exiting gases. The beds are automatically sequenced from outlet to inlet mode to transfer the heat generated from the exiting hot gases to the incoming cool vapors. Overall, thermal efficiency of 85% to 95% can be expected. During startup, natural gas is burned until the desired operating temperature is reached and the outlet beds are heated. VOC vapors are then introduced into the heated beds. When VOC concentration is sufficient, the combustion can be self-sustaining, requiring no supplemental fuel gas (except for the burner pilots). For exhaust cost analysis, it is important to consider the electrical cost associated with the fans and the cost of fab factory air that is being exhausted. The fab factory air is temperature- and humidity-controlled air that has been supplied by the make up air system. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.11 Heat Exhaust (HEX) System The HEX system consists of a distributed galvanized steel collection system connected to an exhaust fan. No treatment is provided. For exhaust cost analysis, it is important to consider the electrical cost associated with the fans and the cost of fab factory air that is being exhausted. The fab factory air is temperature- and humidity-controlled air that has been supplied by the make-up air system. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. International SEMATECH Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR 8 5.12 Make-up Air System The make-up air system consists of a make-up air handler and its associated air distribution system. The make-up system brings in outside air and conditions it to the humidity requirements of the fab. Except when it is very cold outside, this system typically needs to cool the outside air to a temperature equal to the dew point temperature of the fab operating conditions (typically about 40% relative humidity [RH] and 70°F). After cooling, the air may be reheated with hot water to bring the temperature up enough to control the operating temperature condition within the fab (reheat to 65°F). When it is very cold outside, the make-up air system uses heating water to warm outside air. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.13 Bulk Gas Systems (BGS) Bulk gas systems consist of a gas source, purification, and distribution. The gas source may be onsite liquid storage or a gas plant (on or offsite.) The typical approach in semiconductor fabs is to have the gas supplier “own” the source and purification system. Gas unit cost includes the cost of the source. The manufacturer owns the distribution system. The distribution system cost includes distribution throughout the fab as necessary. Within the fab, the distribution system includes costs up to a block valve on the gas header. Tool connection is not included. Bulk gas costs are as follows: • Ultrapure nitrogen (UPN2) • Utility nitrogen (UN2) • Oxygen (O2) • Hydrogen (H2) • Helium (He) • Argon (Ar) See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.14 Clean Dry Air (CDA) System The CDA system is frequently referred to as oil-free air (OFA), plant air, instrument air (IA), or simply compressed air. CDA is distributed throughout the facility. It is clean of particulate contaminants, oil, and moisture (-100°F dew point). Normal pressure is typically 70 to 80 psig at point of use. The assumed system consists of two-stage, oil-free, rotary screw air compressors. Multiple compressors are required, typically with back-up. Compressors are skid-mounted with associated equipment including intercoolers, liquid separators, silencers, and controls. The total system includes compressors, receiver vessels, coalescing filters, air dryer, and filters (0.01 µm final cartridge). Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR International SEMATECH 9 Primary utilities include electrical power and chilled water for compression heat removal after both the first stage (intercooler) and second stage (aftercooler) of compression. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.15 Process Vacuum (PV) System Process vacuum (typically at 28 inches Hg vacuum) is distributed throughout the facility. The system consists of skid-mounted, two-stage liquid ring vacuum pumps (with associated seal water heat exchanger, separator, silencer, and controls); receiver vessel; and distribution system. Process vacuum is distributed in stainless steel tubing larger than 6-inch in diameter and schedule 80 PVC piping less than 6 inches. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.16 Cleanroom Recirculation Air System The cleanroom air system provides a relatively clean operating environment for manufacturing and tool maintenance. For this study, the fab was assumed to be a Class 1000 cleanroom. ULPA filter units 99.9999% efficient for 0.12 µm particles supply clean air. The filter assemblies contain a fan mounted integrally with the filter assembly to form an FFU. FFUs are supported in a ceiling grid system approximately 12 feet above the factory floor. Filter coverage is 25% with air velocity of 90 ft/min. Blank panels block grid openings not covered by filters. The recirculated air provides two functions within the fab: 1. Protection from particle contamination 2. Heat removal For this study, the function of cleanroom air as a heat removal fluid was not considered because the heat removal function of the air is more or less independent of airflow volume. That is, increasing or decreasing volume does not impact the quantity of heat removed; it does impact the temperature rise of the air. Temperature rise is an important consideration if airflow volume is changed but not a significant cost variable. The capital cost elements of the recirculation air system are FFUs, associated electrical systems, controls, grid, and blanks. Utilities used by the system include electrical power and chilled water cooling required to remove energy dissipated by the fan motors. No drawing is provided. 5.17 Heating Water System (HWS) Heating hot water—typically 180°F supply and 150°F return—is frequently used for facility heating (primarily make-up air). Alternatively, some facilities use steam as a heating fluid. It is also possible to use natural gas-fired heating units. The options are generally competitive. The final decision is usually based on local cost structure and facility management preferences. The HWS system used to calculate the capital cost was assumed to consist of the following: • Pressure reducing and backflow prevention station • Expansion tank • Air separator • Heating water boiler International SEMATECH Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR 10 • • • • Primary heating water pump Supply and return piping system Associated controls Natural gas boilers fired with redundant capacity; fuel oil as a back-up energy source See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.18 Natural Gas Natural gas is supplied to the HWS system and distributed to other locations within the facility such as abatement systems (burn boxes). The only cost that is considered significant for this utility is the purchase price of natural gas. The depreciated cost of the internal distribution system was thought to be negligible. No drawing is provided. 5.19 Bulk Chemicals A bulk chemical distribution (BCD) system is frequently provided for chemicals that are used in large quantities. The systems consist of a bulk tank (or tote) connected to a chemical dispense unit (CDU) and a distribution system. The chemical supply company normally owns the tank or tote; it is now becoming very common for the chemical supply company to own the CDU. The distribution system is typically a central header to laterals and distribution boxes connected to the laterals. Distribution is provided to only those factory locations that use a particular chemical. Distribution systems are typically double-contained. Materials of construction are appropriate to the chemical. For non-solvents, perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) tubing is common for headers and laterals with clear PVC pipe for double containment. Solvents are distributed in single-contained, 316L, electropolished stainless steel. The CDUs and distribution systems are relatively economical to design and construct. Because of this, the cost of the raw chemical is far greater than the capital cost of the system. The systems use negligible quantities of electricity and nitrogen. As a result, for these systems, the raw chemical cost is considered to be the only variable cost of the system. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.20 Solvent Waste Collection (SWC) System The SWC system collects concentrated solvent waste from throughout the facility for recycling or offsite treatment and disposal. The SWC system is composed of piped collection systems, solvent collection tanks, and a secondary containment system with sump. The system has essentially no operational cost other than maintenance. No drawing is provided. 5.21 Industrial Waste Neutralization (IWN) System The IWN system collects wastewater, including acidic and alkaline waste, from throughout the facility and chemically neutralizes it to a pH range of 6–9 for eventual discharge to the sanitary sewer. For the base case, a continuous three-stage process is assumed. Wastewater is collected in separate PVC piping systems (separate systems for ultrapure water plant regeneration wastewater, treated fluoride wastewater, and industrial wastewater) from which is flows by Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR International SEMATECH 11 gravity to the first stage neutralization tank. Depending on the wastewater’s pH, acid or caustic is added. Because the mixed wastewater stream from a semiconductor fab is typically acidic, the IWN system normally uses caustic addition as a utility. The other utility used is electrical energy for pumping and mixing. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. 5.22 Fluoride Wastewater Treatment (FWT) System The FWT system collects fluoride wastewater from throughout the facility. Fluoride is then chemically removed from the wastewater stream before joining with other industrial wastewater streams. Fluoride removal is accomplished by precipitating fluoride with calcium in the form of CaCl2. The precipitate formed is calcium fluoride (CaF2). Excess calcium (greater than stoichiometrically required) is added to the wastewater stream to push the fluoride reaction to completion. Since optimal fluoride removal takes place at pHs of 8 to 8.5, NaOH is added to achieve the desired pH. Fluoride waste is collected in a polypropylene, gravity flow collection system that feeds a batch treatment system. The capacity of the treatment system is expressed as the tankage capacity. The collection system first feeds storage tanks. The storage tanks are pumped into a reaction tank at a constant rate using a feed pump. NaOH is mixed with the stream before the reaction tank for pH adjustment. After the pH is adjusted, CaCl2 is added and continuously stirred. The typical reaction time needed is 1 hour. After reaction, polymer is added; in a series of steps, the flocculant is settled, thickened, and pressed to remove the water. The final solid waste (cake) is disposed off site. Capital cost of the system is relatively high for the volume of fluid treated. Operating variable costs include chemicals, electricity, disposal cost, and maintenance. See the appendix for a drawing of the system. International SEMATECH Technology Transfer #02034260A-TR 12 6 UTILITY COST TABLES Table 1 Industry Average Utility Purchase Costs Elec.
