Clean rooms are facilities in which air content is strictly
controlled. Air conditions such as temperature, humidity and pressure are closely
monitored and maintained to avoid contamination of the environment in cleanrooms.
Clean room manufacturers pay strict attention to air particles, most cleanroom
design companies including clean room manufacturers specializing in modular
cleanroom design and portable
cleanroom design target prevention of air particles 0.5 microns
in size or larger, which is generally the target of cleanroom air filters.
However, some industries are going after even smaller air particles.
The size of cleanrooms range
from micro environments to huge areas referred to as ballrooms. Cleanroom
fabrication includes conventional cleanrooms,
hardwall modular cleanrooms, softwall
modular cleanrooms, mini environment cleanrooms and micro environment
cleanrooms. Cleanrooms can
be divided into two areas: the critical area, which is the area of
clean rooms where contamination can gain direct access to the production
area, and the general area, which consists of the rest of the clean
room.
The federal standard divides cleanrooms and cleanroom
design into four classes of air cleanliness. In Class 100,000 cleanrooms,
the particle count cannot exceed a total of 100,000 particles per cubic
foot of a size 0.5 micron and larger or 700 particles per cubic foot
of a size 5.0 microns and larger. The particle count for Class 10,000
cleanrooms cannot
exceed a total of 10,000 particles per cubic foot of a size 0.5 micron
and larger or 65 particles per cubic foot of a size 5.0 microns or larger.
For Class 1,000 clean rooms, the particle count may not surpass a total
of 1,000 particles per cubic foot of a size 0.5 micron and larger or
10 particles per cubic foot of a size 5.0 microns or larger. And finally,
the total particle count of Class 100 cleanrooms may
not surpass 100 particles per cubic foot of a size 0.5 micron and larger.
Cleanroom classes are determined in an at rest state, meaning
when no one is in the clean room.
Cleanroom Contamination can come from just about anywhere. People are the largest source of cleanroom contamination, as we shed one billion skin flakes every 24 hours. When just standing still, 100,000 particles per minute are shed. When walking only two mph, 5,000,000 particles/min. are shed; walking 5 mph creates 10,000,000 particles/min. ìHorseplay,î or
just goofing off, can release 100,000,000 particles per min. into the
environment. Other sources of cleanroom contamination are the facility
itself (e.g. paint and coatings, air conditioning debris, cleanroom construction
materials, etc.), particles generated by tools (e.g. lubricants and emissions),
fluids (e.g. floor finishes or coatings and cleaning chemicals) and particles
generated by products such as silicon chips, quartz and aluminum. Cosmetics,
perfume, hair care products and clothing debris are other sources of
contaminants in cleanrooms.
Cleanrooms came about during the space race of the 1960s. However, now a wide
variety of industries utilize clean room manufacturers: chemical, SMT, computer,
silk screening, biomedical, electronics, disc memory, photographic, aerospace,
nuclear, optical, hybrid and circuitry. Cleanrooms are also in place in facilities that produce silicon chips, hard disk drives and other technologies, such as satellites. The air in a typical office building contains between 500,000 and 1,000,000 particles per cubic foot. A particle 200 times smaller than a human hair (approximately 75-100 microns in diameter) can cause major damage to sensitive equipment. Without clean rooms, creating structures and devices with feature sizes that are equal to or less than that of a dust particle would be impossible.

Softwall cleanrooms have walls constructed either of fabric stretched
tightly over a frame or of free-hanging strips of fabric.
Common Terms Related to Clean Rooms
Air Lock – A
room located between a cleanroom and outside area that acts as a buffer
during the transportation of materials
into and out of the clean room.
Air Shower – A small room in which
high-speed air jets rid personnel of contaminants prior to entering the
clean room.
Airborne Particulate Cleanliness Class Number – Represents the
number of particles 0.5 microns in size or larger per cubic foot of air
in the clean room. The smaller the class number, the higher the air purity.
Ceiling Grid System – Structure that secures lights and filters
into the ceiling.
Cleanroom Partitions – Walls that create multiple clean areas to
meet a variety of cleanliness requirements inside a single cleanroom.
Clean Room Pass Thrus – Air
locks that provide a way for products and supplies to be delivered and
picked up without personnel having to
enter the room, minimizing the entry of contaminating agents.
Clean Room Suits – Also called “bunny
suits,” they
are worn over regular clothing and made from a special non-linting,
anti-static fabric.
Clean Room Tables – Tables that come with either a perforated or
solid top and meet cleanroom requirements.
Contamination – Harmful or unnecessary substances that decrease
the purity of the environment in which they are found.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) – An uncontrolled dissipation of
electricity, also called a “shock,” which can easily destroy
semiconductor products.
Equipment Layout – A summary of the cleanroom and other functional
areas, which articulates the areas necessary for functioning and support.
Federal Standard 209E – Text that dictates air cleanliness standards
in clean rooms.
Filter Module – Unit containing either HEPA or ULPA filter located
in clean room ceilings or walls.
HEPA (High Efficiency
Particulate Air) Filter – Air filter capable of trapping
a minimum of 99.97% of particles at least 0.3 microns in size.
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
Systems – The
equipment responsible for providing and maintaining heating, cooling
and air conditioning to a building or facility.
Laminar Flow – Airflow within
a confined area traveling with consistent speed and direction.
Micron – Measurement unit equivalent to one-millionth of a meter.
Microbes – Microscopic, living organisms usually carrying a disease.
They are often released from human skin during skin cell shedding.
Particle Size – Represents the measurement or dimensions of a particle.
Particle – An object, either
solid or liquid, ranging from 0.001 to 1,000 microns.
Particulate – A body of matter consisting of distinct particles.
Prefilters – Additional filter used in conjunction with the main
filter to collect large particles and protect the main filter from excess
contamination.
Sealant – Substance often consisting of plastic or silicone used
to secure HEPA filters into ceiling grids.
Sticky Mat – Doormat
located at clean room and shower entrances that utilizes adhesive film
to clean the shoes of personnel.
Testing/Certification Services – Services
responsible for the testing and maintenance of cleanroom components,
including HEPA filters, HVAC
systems and other equipment. Tests on HEPA filters include particle
count surveys, air condition measurement, vibration measurement and airflow
consistency.
Turbulent Flow – Airflow within an enclosure that does not travel
in one direction.
ULPA (Ultra Low Particulate Air) Filter – Air
filter capable of trapping 99.9999% of particles at least 0.12 microns

Utility Matrix – Also called “process utility summary,” “tool
matrix” or “utility requirement spreadsheet,” it is
the summary of the analysis of the services of each piece of equipment
needed to plan the construction of a cleanroom.
Wafer – Also called a “slice,” it is a very thin piece
