BELFOR pioneered successful decontamination and recovery of technical equipment of all types, primarily following contamination events caused by fires, floods, water ingress, chemical spills and more. BELFOR uses decontamination procedures, evaluates and arranges transportation of semiconductor equipment globally, giving customers the assurance that it is being done safely and in compliance with applicable regulations.
BELFOR has the skills and practises to manage preventative and corrective maintenance activities throughout the decontamination process at semiconductor facilities — and to return them to normal operations as soon as possible following a crisis.
BELFOR has specific expertise in the decontamination of both “front-end” and “back-end” semiconductor equipment. Using various techniques such as gas detection and surface wipe sample analysis, BELFOR can identify the contamination source and perform decontamination processes to remove hazardous contaminants from equipment and tools.
BELFOR can provide full wafer “fab” decommissioning services, including the assessment and decontamination of all equipment and tools. Typically, the range of decontamination process services can include:
Contaminated semiconductor equipment can pose a considerable safety risk and must be treated as dangerous cargo. BELFOR can assess and begin decontamination procedures of the equipment prior to relocation, and provide documentation that declares the status of the equipment to freight forwarders, transportation regulatory authorities and to the party receiving the equipment.
BELFOR has carried out a wide range of semiconductor equipment decontamination projects, as well as several major semiconductor fab disaster recovery projects around the world. Some of our specific equipment experience includes:
We will stand by you to ensure a complete recovery.
