Semiconductor Chip Manufacturing: Related to Birth Defects, Cancer and Miscarriages

The process of semiconductor chip fabrication in clean rooms involves exposure to photoresist containing glycol ethers and other dangerous solvents. There have been several cases litigated against National Semiconductor, IBM and Intel based on exposure leading to birth defects, miscarriages and infertility.

Clean Room Workers May be Exposed during the Semiconductor Chip Manufacturing Process.

Manufacturing a computer chip involves a complex fabrication process, using photolithography and photoresist and harmful solvents that can injury plant clean room workers and spin coaters who are exposed.

Injuries Caused by Photoresist include:

Reproductive and developmental health problems such as miscarriages, spontaneous abortions, damage to testes, subfertility, damage to embryo and fetus, and birth defects including: cleft lip and palate, spina bifida, and hydrocephalus.

If you worked in the semiconductor chip manufacturing industry from 1986 through the mid-1990's and you think you may have injuries related to glycol ether exposure our lawyers offer a free consultation about your possible legal remedies to pay for treatment and obtain compensation from the responsible and negligent companies.
