An essential topic for the semiconductor fabrication and electronics manufacturing industry, also relevant to electronic design engineers in microelectronics and other industry sectors that use cleanrooms, for example, pharmaceutical. This book offers an introduction to the role of cleanrooms, their use and specification, for a wide range of technicians and technical managers. Contamination can cause a variety of problems to materials, processes and products and it is for this reason that cleanrooms are becoming a regular feature of modern industry in its battle to control contamination. With the demand for higher productivity and reliability of the manufacturing process and the ever-increasing miniaturisation of equipment, cleanrooms have become integral to the success of the manufacturing process. This book will teach you how to create a cleanroom and also how to effectively operate, maintain and work within this controlled environment. This book will help you manage your cleanroom investment more efficiently, thereby increasing your productivity through greater product yields.
