Background
Ramps are precision componentsused in the Hard Disc Drives, and producedfrom
plastic injectionmolding.
LPC is LiquidParticle Countswhich representsthe cleanlinessof the product
(Ramps).
Ramps undergo UltrasonicWashing(and drying)Processbefore packaging.
LPC is measuredto indicate the cleanlinessof the final productsto customer.
In year 2010 October,Customerofficially request to tighten (lower down) the LPC
specification by 60%. (New UCL = 40%of Current UCL)
Internally,QC controlsthe processby trigger limit 70% of current UCL.
3. 3
Background
Two model productsare selectedto representeach of two differentgroups.
CrockettSlider LimiterRamp to represent smallersize ramps.
Muskie 3D Ramp to represent big size ramps.
Focusarea is definedas UltrasonicWashing (and drying)process.
Qualitytarget is set as follow:
process mean + 2 sigma is lower than 70% of newUSL

1. Correlation:
Correlationmust be done withCustomer’s(Seagate) measurement (method &
equipment) to certify our measurementprocess.And the renewal of certificate
is once in every 6 months.
Customer does not providethe data. But, only Pass or Fail
2. Calibrationof LPC Sensor:
Calibration of LPC sensoris done yearly.

3. Method of Control:
~ Only certified operationindividualis allowed to do LPC measuring.And a
detail definedSOP is set. (SOP is not attached, as Companyconfidential).
~ DI water for LPC measuring,DI blank particle count must be Lower than 50
counts per ml.
~ DegassedOxygenlevel of DI water must be 40% +/- 2%
(measurement will not be performed till DI water supplymeet above
specifications.And degassing processwill be repeated).
GR&R Analysis1: (For Reproducibility)
In this analysis,samplesmeasured in each replicates are not the same.
LPC of a sample can be measured only once for representative cleanliness.
Samplesfor replicateswere taken from same batch and same locationof the
buddle.(commonpractice to do correlationwith customer)A certain level of
Repeatability& Reproducibilityvariation is expected.

GR&R Analysis2: (For Repeatability)
In this analysis,samplesmeasured in each replicates are the same.
LPC of a sample is usually calculated from average of 3 Runs of particle count
in measurementprocedure.The tolerancelimit among 3 Runs is +/-10%.
In this GR&R analysis, raw data is taken from 3 Runs (as 3 replicates).
In that case, each replicationis done by same operator.

Study :Air Filters Replacement
~ 24 months APC (Air Particle Count) data is studied to predict HEPA Filter Life Time.
~ 4 readings per month, Sub-group size is 4 for x-bar.
~ Count Particle Size : 0.2 micron.
~ Study Point : Point J2, (Standardized QC checking point)
~ Trigger Limit : 8160 counts per cubic meter.

Replace Ultrasonic transducers and calibrate
power generators.
2
Improper filter installation (off set,
discentering)
All water tanks
Ensure filter centering & installation by guide
jig.And use PP pleated filters.
3 Agitation speed
Tank 1
Tank 3
Tank 4
Reconfirm speed and cylinder performance.
Replace cylinders & speed adjusters, if
necessary
4 Vacuum dry tank seal Vacuum dry tank Replace new seal
5 Vacuum Pump efficiency Vacuum dry tank
Change the Oil for vacuum pump. Order oil to
replace.
6
Regular cleaning and overall
maintenance for machine cleanliness
Over all
Establish or reactivate regular cleaning job. Review
PM procedures. Do 1 time overall cleaning.
7 Air filters replacement
Blow dry, drying
ovens, Machine
hyper filters, class
100 ovens
Replace filters and include regular replacement
of air filters in PM activity list.
8 Source of blowing air Blow dry tank
Get the blowing air supply from class 100 clean
room.
9 Rusty metal components in machine Most of the tank Replace all with plastic part
10
Robot arms metal to metal rubbing
against washing tray
All arms Add protector to the arms as JCS proposed.

After the activitieson 20th March 2011, confirmation was givenby QC department
for Fit to Run the washing line by thorough checking of APC (Air Particle Counts)&
LPC (LiquidParticleCounts)levelsof the washing line.
Starting from 21st March,2 weeksdata collection was done to verifythe solution
effectiveness.
The two weeksdata shows there is no significant difference of before and after
improvement.
It was decidedthat more data should be collected, since washing line needs time to
stabilize it’sAPC & LPC as a lot of maintenancejobs were done on washingline itself
and inside the Clean Room (Class1000).
ProductLPC data were collected3 months (April, May & June).
Data recordingmethod also has been improvedas daily product LPC checkingis
established. (5 samplesper day, x-bar is average of 5 randomsamples).
