GOWNING
The operator is a contamination source.
Cleanroom clothing helps isolate the wafer from particles produced by the human body.
Cleanroom Suit
Covers normal clothing and helps contain fibers and particles.
Gloves
Help prevent oils, salts, and particles from transferring from hands to wafers.
Face & Hair Covering
Reduces contamination from hair, skin, and respiratory droplets.
Eye Protection
Provides protection while working around chemicals and fabrication equipment.
CLEANROOM BEHAVIOR
How you move matters.
Fast movement can disturb particles and increase contamination inside the work environment.
✓ Move Carefully
Avoid unnecessary motion around exposed wafers.
✓ Handle Correctly
Use appropriate wafer-handling tools when possible.
✕ Avoid Bare-Hand Contact
