Clean rooms began to be used in aerospace and microtechnology in the
early 1960’s, as the United States and other countries geared up
for the “space race”. Rapid advancements were being made
in the fields of technology and biochemistry as scientists and researchers
began working on smaller and smaller levels. As a result scientists and
manufacturers required more and more rigidly controlled working environments.
These controlled work environments came to be known as “clean rooms”,
rooms which are sealed off from any air outside and in which highly filtered
air which falls in what is usually a laminar
flow onto the working space below. All cleanroom
supplies, persons, and equipment coming in and out of the room are
tightly monitored and special clothing, mouth and head coverings are
almost always required.
The key to “clean room” cleanliness is the number of air
pollutants, or particles, in the air. Sterility is not usually a requirement,
since the real concern when working on microscopic and nearly microscopic
scales is the damage which can be done by particles such as dust, sand,
or salt; bacteria, which are a concern for pharmacists in regards to
consumers, and for microelectronics manufacturers because of the high
ion content in bacteria which creates harmful static electricity; and
humidity, which can change the consistency, electrical charge, and other
properties of various substances. Most cleanroom standards focus on the
elimination of particles 0.5 microns or larger, although some highly
specialized industries are lowering maximum particle size allowed. As
a comparison, a human hair is usually 100 microns in diameter, and humans
shed dead skin cells at a rapid rate of 100,000 particles per minute
standing still. This is why every item, article of clothing, and patch
of exposed skin are carefully monitored in cleanroom facilities.
Clean
room design ranges in size, material and level of cleanliness
based on their purpose of use. Some cleanrooms used by manufacturers
specializing in microelectronics, pharmaceutical products, or circuitry
are as large as warehouses (often called “ballrooms”)
and may keep a high classification of cleanliness. Other cleanrooms used by
manufacturers such as special parts machinists, who only need cleanroom facilities
for an occasional specialized assembly, may have small portable
clean rooms the size of a large closet. Cleanrooms can have hard, usually
glass or clear plastic walls, or soft
walls made of flexible acrylic or similar material.
There are two separate standards of cleanliness classification. The first is
FED standard 209, which classifies cleanroom air into four different classes:
Class 100,000 has a particle count lower than 100,000 particles 0.5 micron or
larger per cubic foot; Class 10,000 has a particle count lower than 10,000 per
cubic foot; Class 1,000 does not exceed 1,000 particles per cubic foot; and Class
100, the highest classification in this standard, never exceeds 100 particles
per cubic foot. The other recognized standard is the British Standard system
which has four classifications based on cubic meters instead of feet, and all
four levels are slightly stricter than the FED standards. Different levels are
required by different industries and various products. The major industries that
use cleanroom facilities at varying classifications are: chemical, printed circuit
board, SMT, computer, silk screening, biomedical, electronics, disc memory, small
parts machining & assembly, packaging, pharmaceutical, photographic, aerospace,
nuclear, optical, hybrid, circuitry and microelectronics.
Clean Rooms and Clean Room Manufacturers Images Provided by Abtech,
Inc.
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.

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.

areas, which articulates the areas necessary for functioning and support.

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.

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
in size.
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
of silicon that is the base material for microchips.
