Cleanroom Assembly Services from Arizona Finishing

What is a Cleanroom?

A cleanroom is a controlled environment meticulously designed to eliminate contaminants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles, and chemical vapors. These spaces are primarily utilized in the manufacturing of electronic components.

Cleanroom assembly services are essential across various industries where even the smallest particles can negatively impact the manufacturing process.

Industries that commonly require cleanroom manufacturing include semiconductor production, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and life sciences. Additionally, sectors such as aerospace, optics, military, and the Department of Energy also rely on cleanroom standards for critical process manufacturing.

What is Cleanroom Assembly?

The rapid advancement of computer technology, especially the semiconductor chips that power them, has necessitated the need for cleanroom assembly. Today’s components often require assembly in a cleanroom environment to prevent contamination. This is particularly crucial for most medical devices but applies to a wide array of products across various industries.

Technicians involved in cleanroom assembly are rigorously trained to adhere to protocols regarding personal protective equipment and the procedures for entering and exiting cleanroom environments. This stringent focus on protocol during manufacturing, assembly, testing, and packaging ensures that products are created in a sterile and germ-free setting.

Inspectors in cleanrooms frequently utilize advanced inspection tools, such as light scanners and magnifying viewers, to identify any defects in products.

Cleanroom Classifications

Cleanrooms are classified based on the cleanliness of the air within them. Federal standards have been established to standardize and categorize cleanroom classifications.

According to Federal Standard 209 (A to D) in the USA, the number of particles equal to or larger than 0.5 microns is counted in one cubic foot of air to determine the cleanroom’s classification.

At Arizona Finishing, we operate a 890 sq. ft. ISO 7 (Class 10,000) cleanroom, enabling us to assemble, test, and package products that demand stringent cleanliness standards.
