INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, everyone must accept responsibility forkeeping the environment clean, from individuals adopting
a responsible attitude to their own waste disposal,however small that may be, to big industries who must takeproper precautions to avoid releasing large amounts ofdamaging waste into the environment.
As a leading electronic components manufacturer, PhilipsSemiconductors has always regarded environmentalprotection as a major issue. The electronics industry, likemany others, produces its share of toxic and hazardousmaterials, and we have long made it our policy to followworking practices that cut the chance of these materialspassing into the environment to the absolute minimum.
Products supplied by Philips Semiconductors today offer
no hazard to the environment in normal operation andwhen stored according to the instructions given in our datasheets. Inevitably, some products contain substances thatare potentially hazardous to health if exposed by accidentor misuse, but we ensure that users of these componentsreceive clear warning of this in the data sheets. And wherenecessary, the warning notices contain safety precautionsand disposal instructions.
This Chapter supplements these notices and instructionsby providing clear and comprehensive information on thecomposition of representative examples of ICsmanufactured by Philips Semiconductors.This information
should form a basis for answering questions on productsafety and disposal and should, moreover, help toincrease awareness of these aspects, not only throughoutthe Philips Semiconductors organization but throughoutthe semiconductor industry in general.
EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES
The following pages provide the chemical constituents ofrepresentative groups of IC packages down to minorpercentages and traces, as far as these constituents maybe important to the use, destruction or disposal of thecomponents.
The tables contain information about the materials used inthe semiconductor devices themselves and in the packingused for storage, transport and assembly.
Whenever possible, the devices have been grouped intofamilies based on the similarity in composition,construction andpacking method. In this way we were ableto limit the number of tables. For each group, onerepresentative is specified in mass percentages of itsparts.
In many cases, a single encapsulation type will contain arange of differing leadframes with different die-paddimensions to accommodate the active devices. This,however, leads to only minor changes in the mass
percentages. Different materials or techniques aresometimes used to assemble one encapsulation type, andwhenever possible, alternative materials are included inthe tables. In other cases only the standard or high-volumeprocess is described.
Per page, the product family is defined and the typesidentied by the Philips package code number.Additionally, reference is made to usual names or to theJEDEC code (when applicable). The mass (grams) andbody dimensions (mm) and the packing quantity are alsospecied.
The table itself shows the composition of the grouprepresentative broken down into the device-parts:• metal parts• crystal• encapsulation (plastic, glass or ceramic)• packing materials
The device-parts are specified in milligrams (mg). Thesegures are as accurate as possible for the grouprepresentative shown. Other devices from the same groupmay differ considerably in mass. The amount of packingmaterial, specied in grams, per device can be found bydividing the weight of the packing material by the packingquantity. For more detailed information on packing, refer toChapter 7, Packing methods .
Metal parts
The composition of the leadframe material is indicated,when appropriate, by the method commonly used foralloys, e.g.:• FeNi42 means iron alloy containing 42% of nickel
(alloy 42).• CuZn15 means copper alloy containing 15% zinc
(tombac).• Cu alloy indicates copper with a small amount of alloying
elements such as Fe, Ni, Zn or Ag or combinations ofsome elements.
Crystal
The active device is usually a silicon chip doped with verysmall amounts of elements such as boron, arsenic orphosphorus. The back may be metallized with thin layersof titanium, nickel, platinum, gold or silver to enhancedie-bonding to the leadframe.

Encapsulation
The chip is protected by a ceramic, plastic, glass or metalencapsulation.
Glass will contain SiO 2 plus a number of oxides of Ba, K,Pb, Zn and Mn. These elements are, however,immobilized and will not be extracted by acids, unless theglass is ground.
The plastic encapsulation is usually based on ortho cresolnovolac (OCN) -epoxy or on biphenyl-epoxy, filled withquartz particles (fused or crystalline) up to approximately70 mass percent. In all cases (except SOT54), antimonytrioxide and tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBA) are present asflame retardants. The TBBA will be incorporated in theepoxy-polymer after curing so that no TBBA is present inthe finished device. It has become a partially brominated
epoxy. The flammability of all moulding compounds ratestypically UL94-V0 at 1/8 inch.
Packing material
Cardboard and paper consist mainly of natural fibres. Thecarbon layer for ESD protection does not hamper therecyclability of the cardboard.
Polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene are syntheticpolymers made from hydrocarbons.
Polyvinylchloride (PVC), a synthetic polymer made from
chlorinated hydrocarbons, is used for the tubes in whichmany semiconductors are packed. PVC is hazardous tothe environment when burned under certain, ill-controlledconditions. PVC is, however, readily recyclable when thematerial is collected separately (as a mono-material).Therefore the endpins, turnlocks and soft rubber stoppersin the PVC-tubes are now replaced by PVC to enhancerecycling.
The reuse of the polystyrene (PS) reels is encouraged byrequesting all our customers to return the reels after use toSemi-cycle. Information and addresses are printed on theboxes in which the reels are delivered. PhilipsSemiconductors’ intention is to buy used reels, whenavailable, thus closing the product life circle to lower theamount of wasted packing materials.
To encourage recycling, Philips Semiconductors marksthe packing materials according to ISO 11469 using therecycling symbols shown in Figs 1 to 8. Figure 1 showsthe symbol for paper and cardboard, Figs 2 to 8 show thesymbols for various plastics.

DISPOSAL
Old or used products must be disposed of in accordanceto national and local regulations.
The products and packing materials must be disposed ofas special waste. This is required, in particular, for partscontaining environmentally hazardous materials, forexample beryllium oxide, present in some RF-devices.
Smaller quantities of material may be disposed of asdomestic waste, provided national or local regulationspermit this.
RECYCLING
Where legally required, we accept packing materials andproducts for recycling and/or disposal. However, since the
cost of returning these materials to us must be borne bythe customers, it is often more cost effective for them tolook for a local recycle company. To assist in this we canprovide customers with the names and addresses of localrecycle companies in their areas.
GENERAL WARNINGS
Products
Under the specified operating conditions, no hazardousmaterials will be liberated from the products. The generalwarnings describe phenomena that can be expected with
abnormal use (outside the product’s specification). Forexample:• If a product is exposed to strong acids, metals contained
within it may be partially extracted.• If a product with an epoxy moulded encapsulation is
exposed to organic solvents, these may extract part ofthe resin contained in the encapsulation.
• If the product is incinerated, degradation andcondensation reactions in the organic material itcontains may cause a number of hazardous substancesto be released into the air in unpredictable amounts.Moreover, metal oxides will be formed and may bereleased into the air as dust particles.
• If products with beryllium heatsinks (RF transistors) aredamaged, toxic beryllium oxide dust may be released
into the air.
Packing material
• With adequate oxygen supply, packing materials willgive off mainly carbon dioxide and water if burned.However, if they are burned in a limited oxygen supply(the general case in a re), hazardous compounds (forexample carbon monoxide) may be emitted.
• PVC will form hydrochloric acid gas when incinerated. Itwill also generate a number of other chlorinecompounds, among them the toxic dioxin, when theconditions (temperature, oxygen) are not well controlled.
