Recently significant incidents occurred with the use of Silane
Silane is an electronic specialty gas that has widespread use in the semiconductor fabrication industry. Since mid 80’s a series of silane technical and safety seminars were conducted in the US and Europe, creating the awareness of potential problems and helped to drastically reduce the number of incidents and/or their severity.

Within the last ten years the LCD and PV manufacturers have expanded significantly, in 2008 they will use more Silane than the IC companies. Recently significant incidents occurred with the use of Silane highlighting the need to conduct the seminars again.

5 November - One day Seminar
Various supplier are contributing to the safety seminar which will bring together many acknowledged experts on Silane, standards and regulations.
