Frequently Asked Questions
Air cleanliness is maintained through the use of advanced filtration systems, including High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) and Ultra-Low Penetration Air (ULPA) filters, which remove particles from the air. Additionally, clean rooms use laminar airflow systems to ensure a steady, unidirectional flow of air, reducing turbulence and particle movement.
Semiconductor clean rooms are typically classified according to ISO standards, such as ISO Class 1, ISO Class 2, and so on. These classifications indicate the maximum allowable number of particles per cubic meter of air. For semiconductor manufacturing, ISO Class 1 or ISO Class 2 clean rooms are often required due to their ultra-low particle levels.
A compounding cleanroom is a controlled environment specifically designed for the preparation of pharmaceutical or medical products, such as compounded medications. These cleanrooms ensure that the compounding process is performed in a contaminant-free environment, adhering to strict standards to maintain product safety and efficacy.
A semiconductor clean room is a controlled environment designed to maintain extremely low levels of airborne particles, temperature, and humidity to prevent contamination of semiconductor wafers and components during manufacturing. It provides the ultra-clean conditions necessary for the precise and defect-free production of semiconductor devices.
Clean rooms are essential because semiconductor manufacturing processes are highly sensitive to contamination. Even tiny particles, dust, or impurities can cause defects in semiconductor devices, leading to reduced yields and potential failures. Clean rooms minimize these risks by controlling environmental factors and ensuring a contaminant-free environment.
