Overview

Inspection and vibration measurement were performed on the DVIA-P4000 installed on the Tier-1 Semiconductor Giheung SR1 5F line.

Inspection and vibration measurement were conducted with the equipment installed and in IDLE state.

A booth structure was connected adjacent to the equipment on the isolator, and strong vibration from that booth was observed continuously. This vibration is likely to affect isolator performance and vibration measurement results.

Exhaust fans were operating at nearby equipment toward the equipment on the isolator; airflow-related effects may also influence isolator performance and measurement results.

Data are presented as VC curves with reference material on vibration levels.

Conclusion

At the initial isolator inspection, the four units did not float at the same height; unit float heights differed (Unit 1: 1.2 mm, Unit 2: 2.3 mm, Unit 3: 3.8 mm).

The DVIA-P Series is designed so that four units float at the same height; during the site visit, leveling was checked, and each unit’s float height was reset to 2.5 mm.

From 12.5–31.5 Hz in all directions, isolator performance was measured somewhat lower, due to vibration from the booth structure connected to the equipment on the isolator and exhaust fans operating toward the isolator from nearby equipment. Outside that band, vibration at VC-F or below was measured in all directions.
