ABSTRACT
With the advent of microprocessors and photonics devices, a need for specialized manufacturing arose. The reason processor speeds have been constantly increasing is because the size of the physical components has been decreasing. Since the size of processor conductors has decreased into the nanometer range, an ultra-clean environment to produce these chips has become necessary. Fabricating microprocessors was the original purpose for clean rooms. Clean rooms are widely used in many industries, including space exploration, computer manufacturing, nanotechnology, pharmaceutical industries, and especially optical manufacturing. Protective clothing must be worn by someone working in a clean room to prevent dust, human skin, and hair particles from entering the room’s atmosphere. Special protective clothing, sometimes called a bunny suit, does not give off lint particles and prevents human skin and hair particles from entering the room’s atmosphere.
