An ultra-clean space
provides a high quality.
ICR is applied primarily to the semi-conduct industry
represented by IC and VLSI and the scope of application
has currently expanded to include new materials and
fine chemicals.
For ICR, the investment in the clean room facility leads
to increase in yield. It means the investment in the
clean room provides actual effectiveness. Experience
data lets you know which cleanliness level is required
for each product; The highest cleanliness level is applied
to the most important process while an economic clean
room should be prepared for other processes, if applicable.
The following shows products and processes requiring
an ICR and the air cleanliness level which is the most
applied:
Supporting the Development
of Future Industries Such as Medicines and Food.
BCR (Biological Clean Room) controlling microbes has
been developed by the needs of GMP (Good Manufacturing
Practice) in manufacturing medicines and asepsis in
an operating room of a hospital. Also, a clean room
similar to GMP is already applied to the food or cosmetic
industry as well as the process manufacturing retort
foods or long-term storing foods (such as soysource,
soybean paste, ham, sausage, etc.) or processes charging
drinks. The facility experimenting with animals required
for the manufacturing or development of medicines is
subject to GLP (Good Laboratory Practice Regulation),
which has a close relation with the technology for clean
room. As the bio-technology has been developed or the
Bio Hazard to prevent polluting sources from going out
of a laboratory has emerged, a highly advanced clean
room is required. The biological clean room will be
expended further along with the development of high
technologies.
