SEMICONDUCTOR CLEANROOMS
CLEANROOM SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING
Contamination is a huge source of production issues and product failure in semiconductors and microelectronics, making ESD cleanrooms critical for the manufacture and packaging of semiconductors. Semiconductor cleanroom environments must be engineered to control static, particulate matter, out-gassing, and other sources of contamination and compromising conditions.Â
Our semiconductor, electronics cleanrooms and battery dry rooms balance environmental control with flexibility, ranging from the extremely high level of control over static, humidity, contamination, and pressure offered by our HardWall cleanrooms to our versatile and compact SoftWall cleanrooms and our RigidWall cleanrooms that strike a balance between the two.
SEAMLESS CLEANROOMS
Seamless cleanrooms create a fully-sealed ESD-controlled panel system with low air leakage rates, suitable for close control of temperature and humidity.
HARDWALL CLEANROOMS
Hardwall cleanrooms create a ESD-controlled panel system that can be temperature and humidity controlled, suitable for semiconductor production.
RIGIDWALL CLEANROOMS
Rigidwall cleanrooms create a robust cleanroom, perfect for enclosing machinery or upgrading a packaging area.

SEMICONDUCTOR FAB DESIGN
Semiconductor cleanrooms require a robust cleanroom design that helps them reach and maintain strict cleanliness standards while also allowing for easy movement and workflow.Â
Angstrom Technology designs and installs quality semiconductor cleanrooms that incorporate all the necessary controls for cleanroom semiconductor fabrication, including gas cabinets and panels, air filtration systems, N2 generators, hazardous gas detection, high purity piping, and deionized water systems, along with a variety of efficient lighting options.
SEMICONDUCTOR CLEANROOM STANDARDS
In most cases, semiconductor cleanrooms must comply with ISO 14644-1 Class 4-6 requirements. This stipulates a maximum allowed particle count between 352-35,200 particles 0.5μm or smaller. They must also meet the requirements of ISO 14644-2, which imposes a quality control system in order to maintain these standards. However, not all processes require such stringent control. The packaging, assembly, and testing of manufactured wafers could be performed in ISO class 7 or ISO class 8 cleanrooms.
Depending on their unique application, semiconductor cleanrooms will also likely have to meet some industry-specific requirements, for example, ASTM standards for automotive applications and NASA standards for aerospace applications. These are usually complied with in addition to ISO standards to ensure that semiconductor cleanrooms are always controlled and that the chips that come out of them are of consistent quality. Any drop below these stringent standards could lead to defects.
