Abstract

The metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) device is indispensable in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The process risk prioritization is beneficial to secure the safe operations of MOCVD. To find out the weakness of the device, the hazard and operability (HAZOP) study can be used to assess the process risk of MOCVD. In this paper, to identify the crucial components and associated hazards, we introduce a hybrid method by integrating HAZOP and the interval analytical hierarchy process (IAHP) to prioritize the hazards for decision-makers. Firstly, we employ HAZOP to identify the failure causes and consequences of deviations. Then we conduct IAHP to prioritize the risk of MOCVD to identify the priority for the hazards with the same risk priority number (RPN). The combination valve section before the reactor of MOCVD is analyzed as the case study. The obtained results from the HAZOP analysis can support the lifecycle risk management of MOCVD.
