Semiconductors
Almost all of today's technology involves the use of semiconductors, with the most important aspect being the integrated circuit (IC). To create an ideal semiconducting material, chemical purity and cleanroom technology is paramount. Any small imperfection can have a drastic effect on how the semiconducting material behaves due to the scale at which the materials are used. Strict cleanroom cleaning protocols keep the cleanroom environment used for manufacturing semiconductors dust free to limit contamination that could cause product failure. Some examples of devices that contain integrated circuits include laptops, scanners, cell-phones, smart devices, etc. ISO 14644 Certification and Testing provides assurances the Cleanroom is operating within its design criteria standards.
