cleanroom

Facility

A manufacturing environment in which airborne particle concentration is controlled to a specified class (e.g. ISO 5) by HEPA/ULPA-filtered laminar airflow, controlled temperature and humidity, and gowning protocols. Semiconductor fabs require cleanrooms because a single sub-micron particle can kill a die.
