Cross-contamination
Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000075
The unintended transfer of contaminants from one process, material, or area to another, leading to defects or reduced yield in semiconductor manufacturing. This can occur through shared equipment, improper handling, or airborne particle migration. Preventing cross-contamination requires stringent cleanroom protocols, dedicated tools, and effective air filtration systems.
