  • US Semiconductor Factory Group Survey
    Instantaneous voltage drop accident and SEMI F47 Standard


    You can see the occurrence frequency of Sag is the highest when the size of Sag is less than 50% and the duration of Sag is less than 3Cycles (50msec).



    • Task Force that created SEMI F47 Studied 16 Plants, 14 in US
    • 30.5 Monitor years
    • Total events = 1064
    • Average number of Events below SEMI F47 per site per year is 3.1
