How is Cleanliness Maintained in Nanofabrication Labs?
Cleanliness is critical in nanofabrication labs to avoid contamination that could compromise the integrity of nanostructures. This is achieved through:
- Use of cleanrooms with controlled environments to minimize airborne particles. - Implementation of High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to purify the air. - Strict protocols for gowning and de-gowning to minimize the introduction of contaminants. - Regular cleaning and decontamination of surfaces and equipment.
