The scarcity of efficacious insulation candidates prompted the Semiconductor Industry Association to identify the criticality of low-k dielectric material development. Thus, in June 1995, Dow made a business commitment to invent a new material specifically tailored for the interconnect application. Specific performance targets were defined based on interactions with the industry, experience gained through Dow s earlier benzocyclobutene-based systems, finite element analysis of the anticipated interconnect structures, and principles of material sciences.

In this chapter, we attempt to address both aspects of the U.S. semiconductor injury and illness experience. The chapter will skim over the past decade characterized by very low incidence rates of work injuries and illnesses among semiconductor workers to focus, instead, on stratification of work injuries and illnesses experienced by this work force during 1993 (provided by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Occupational Health System of the Semiconductor Industry Association). PI Because of a major concern for the reproductive health of workers which surfaced in this industry during the middle 1980 s, a review of three, independent epidemiologic investigations is presented and the results discussed. 

Beginning in 1982, the primary trade association ofthe U.S. semiconductor industry (Semiconductor Industry Association—SIA) has sponsored the development and maintenanee ofthe Occupational Health System (OHS). This system provides detailed data analyses of pertinent work injury and illness ease variables on an armual basis for the semieonduetor industry. Approximately one-quarterto one-third ofthe U.S. semieonduetor industry partieipates in the OHS program on a year-to-year basis. Priorto 1982, the only signifieant data eoneeming the safety and health experience of the nation s semiconductor work force were those published annually in the BLS surveys, as diseussed above. 

In 1991, the Board of Directors of the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) sponsored development of the Occupational Health System (OHS). The primary purpose of the OHS was to document the work injury and illness experience ofthe U.S. semiconductor industry work force on an annual basis. The OHS was supported by participating companies on an annual fee basis.
