[labnetwork] Cleanroom Garments

[Bob Hamilton]

Not to quibble - the Microlab does state-of-the-art device research as
well as nanofabrication research. We have ~350 lab members and log a
huge number of lab-hours per year. Particle-control and yield have not
been an issue here at Berkeley even though we use disposable garments.

We have lots of issues to deal with including cost but particles are
not one of them for present research.

Given this statment, we do not have a Surfscan and I cannot provide a
metric on particle density. Device yield and the stringent
requirements for wafer/wafer bonding are good indicators, however.

I agree 100% with John from Purdue that the needed cleanliness of your
Labs including lab garments absolutly is dictated by the requirements
of your research...but blessed are those with a six million dollar
yearly operating budget...not your average typical budget..

Just an after thought...
