A room or environment that is controlled in such a way as to minimize airborne particulate matter, typically for the purpose of fabricating sensitive electronic or other devices
Applications characterized by the common requirement to minimize outside contamination These type applications limit the use of lubricants and coolants Special materials and seal materials are necessary to meet these requirements Many medical and pharmaceutical applications require clean room features
A manufacturing and inspection area that is temperature and humidity controlled and has continuously filtered air specifically designed to reduce particulate contamination
The place where semiconductor manufacturers do all their wafer processing Dust and particles which might fall on the wafers during processing and result in the circuits not working are kept out of the clean room by filtering the air and managing the air flow Humans are required to wear specially designed clean room bunny suits (overalls) and booties over their street clothes, and must put on gloves and face masks (humans tend to shed skin and hair) Normal paper is not allowed in clean rooms -- only clean room low particulate paper may be taken in back to top
A room that is maintained virtually free of contaminants, such as dust or bacteria, used in laboratory work and in the production of precision parts for electronic or aerospace equipment. Also called white room
An assembly room for precision products whose quality would be affected by dust, lint or airborne pathogens; usually has smooth room surfaces to prevent dust collection; air precipitators or filters keep dust, lint, etc to a specified minimum level
A facility or enclosure in which air content and other conditions (such as temperature, humidity, and pressure) are controlled and maintained at a specific level by special facilities and operating processes and by trained personnel (395)
