Sources of Cleanroom Contamination
The discussion will now focus on the sources of contamination encountered in cleanroom manufacturing, and briefly discuss some of ways that these contaminants are minimised and why this minisization is important. The major sources of contamination in cleanroom manufacturing are:
- The air in the facility
- The personnel in the facility (including things brought into the facility with them).
- The water used within the manufacturing process
- The chemicals and gases used in the process
- Static electric charge
- The production facility and equipment in the facility
Each of these contaminants requires special control techniques.
The major approach to minimising contamination in the work environment is to have the manufacturing done in a cleanroom. This is a special room with treated air, personnel containment clothing, filtered water, high purity chemicals, and specially designed equipment.
