Cleanrooms create a contamination-free environment and can vary from small chambers, also known as the microenvironments to very large rooms, popularly known as ballrooms. These rooms are free from all kinds of impurities and are ideal for manufacturing and assembling in technologically advanced industries.

Important Factors to be Considered

A wide variety of important factors needs to be considered in order to determine the type of cleanroom required for an application. Some of the factors are:

• Cleanliness Category
• Fabrication Type
• Special features such as ESD control, pass throughs; and a covering area.

Fabrication Style of Cleanrooms

Basically, there are five fabrication styles for cleanrooms:

• Conventional
• Modular hardwall
• Modular softwall
• Mini environment
• Micro environment

Among these, conventional style is most commonly used, and they are permanent structures.
