Update on the PVG & LCP Taskforce
As a follow-up on our coverage of the SEMI Photovoltaic Gas and Liquid Chemical Purity Taskforce (see Gases & Instrumentation, November/December 2009 issue, p.18), we can report the following:
The PV High Purity Water document was approved by the PV Technical Committee. It is published as SEMI PV3-0310. Also, the PV Liquid Chemical Taskforce is working on the impurities tables for 49% HF and 85% H3PO4 acids.1
Regarding gases, the Taskforce has four PV gas documents out for industry review. These comprise bulk oxygen, bulk argon, bulk nitrogen and bulk hydrogen. The Taskforce has been asked for their preference in approaching the next batch of standards needed for PV and so far the vote favors silane and dopants. Industry input outside of the Taskforce is most welcomed in order to help set priorities.
The POCl3 SubTeam has completed its review of the PV POCl3 Standard and that was sent in early February to SEMI for formatting and industry voting.
URGENT: The PVG & LCP Taskforce is seeking end-user input for the PV Liquid Chemical Taskforce as well as gases. The Taskforce needs direct input from those on the front line building PV cells. Also, the Taskforce is focusing on clean dry air (CDA). Input is needed from those vendors engaged in providing equipment associated with CDA for their processes. At the same time, end-user direction is needed here as well. If you wish to contribute to these standards proceedings, which can benefit all concerned, please contact Kevin Nguyen at or Marty Burkhart .

There were several technical errors in the article, “Expanding the Use of Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detectors: A Review of Gas Release Characteristics for Adequate Detection, by Edward Naranjo and Shankar Baliga, that appeared in the November/December 2009 issue of Gases & Instrumentation.
