Air Shower in Semiconductor Facilities
Semiconductor manufacturing is a precise and sensitive industry. Even a tiny dust particle can damage a microchip. Ruin a whole batch of products. Because of this semiconductor facilities have to be extremely clean. One of the important tools they use to keep things clean is the Air Shower. In this blog we will explain what an Air Shower is, why it is important and how it helps keep semiconductor production clean. What Is an Air Shower? An Air Shower is a room that people walk through before they enter a cleanroom. Inside this room strong jets of air blow from all sides removing dust and other particles from peoples clothes, hair and skin. Once they are clean they can safely enter the cleanroom without bringing any contamination with them. Think of it like a cleaning stop between the outside world and the sensitive production area. Of using water like a regular shower an Air Shower uses strong streams of clean air. Companies like Cronax Industries make these units to remove contaminat...
