In process integration

Closely related to challenges in process integration are those in reactor engineering and design. Research in this area is important if we...

Chemical engineers have an obvious role to play in raw material and reactor effluent processing and in process integration and optimal control. They need to apply semiconductor reactor analysis to solve the critical problem... 

The principal industry drivers generating the interest in isolators in the last few years have been focused on improvements in process integrity. This includes operator protection from potent and hazardous materials and, in the case of sterile products manufacturing, to reduce the potential of contaminated non-sterile imits from being produced by a specific process. There are some circumstances in which reductions in occupied space and operational cost savings have been essential objectives. 

The relation between design and controllability is a modem topic in Process Integration, and it is also a distinctive feature of this work. Chapter 12 describes the principles of controllability analysis oriented to design. 

The fourth link between chemistry and lithography concerns the principles governing the chemical transformations utilized in process-integration schemes that are part of the implementation of lithography in IC device fabrication. This theme, discussed in Chapter 16, explores how lithography is used to define and pattern the various front end of lithography (FEOL) and back end of lithography (BEOL) layers of a state-of-the-art Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) microprocessor based on a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device.

Inert membranes are by far the most widely used in polymeric membrane reactors. Since in PIMRs the catalytic function is absent from the membrane, in comparison with PCMRs this type of membrane reactor represents a lower level in process integration. However, because of this and because the membrane modulus can be separated from the vessel where the chemical reaction takes place, PIMRs allow a much wider range of reactor configurations than PCMRs.
