Protect In-Process Wafers and High-Value Equipment
A 24–48-hour advance window gives fab operations time to prepare lithography tools, secure in-process wafers, and review cleanroom protocols before a seismic event.
The Vibration Sensitivity Problem
Semiconductor fabrication equipment operates at nanometre tolerances. Even moderate seismic events can displace precision stages, contaminate cleanrooms with particulates, and write off in-process batches worth millions. Equipment realignment and cleanroom recovery take weeks - not days.
What a 24–48-Hour Window Changes
- Review and pause non-critical lithography runs in predicted risk window
- Secure high-value in-process wafers in storage cassettes
- Brief equipment engineering on likely impact zone and tool priority list
- Confirm vibration-isolation system status on critical tools
- Review cleanroom positive-pressure system and contamination response plan
Low-Risk Preparedness Actions
- Walk critical tool floors and confirm isolation mounts are nominal
- Verify emergency power and UPS coverage for reticle storage environments
- Confirm chemical storage and waste handling systems are secured
- Brief shift supervisors on the prediction and internal elevated-risk protocols
What Seismikon Provides
- Predictions for your fab location - configurable to your specific site and region
- Minimum magnitude configurable to your equipment sensitivity threshold
- Dashboard, email, API, or webhook delivery to operations and EHS teams
- Transparent, published evaluation protocol - independently verifiable performance
- No public endorsement required; internal operational use only
Regional Customisation
Coverage is configured to your area of operations. California is the current public demonstration; any seismically active region globally is available under a commercial arrangement.
- Define coverage polygon or radius around your sites
- Set minimum magnitude threshold for your asset type
- Specify depth window relevant to your infrastructure
Delivery & Integration
Predictions are delivered through the channel that fits your workflows.
- Dashboard - web portal with prediction maps and history
- Email digest - structured prediction summary on each run
- REST API - JSON feed for system integration
- Webhook - push on each new prediction batch
⚠️ Appropriate Use & Limitations
Predictions are probabilistic. They should inform internal readiness reviews, not automatically halt production. Decision-makers should apply their own engineering judgement and continue to follow standard seismic safety and equipment procedures.
