<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Not to start a national debate but has anybody ever seen a comprehensive study of the benefits of full gowning versus the expense and trouble? As a former Field service engineer and long time fab rat, I have
visited many sites and no two follow the same protocol. The interesting part of this is that every site believes that theirs is the best. How can something that’s fairly scientific be so subjective? I do notice that all of these sites are of the “wrap em’
up” method, but my perennial question is “at what expense?” Is the ten minutes lost to dash out of the clean room to retrieve an item worth whatever benefit full gowning provides? Has anyone ever estimated if the loss of working time because of the added
activity is worth the effort? I am a firm believer in that higher air changes per hour is the best contributor to a clean room’s performance. I do doubt however, that the obstacle of full gowning in a clean room class 100 or dirtier offers little, if any,
contribution to the overall room performance. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">After donning bunny suits for more than 35 years, I have yet to find a
<i>comprehensive </i>study on this subject. I have seen many a paper written that emphasizes high particle counts on personnel that aren’t fully gowned but that’s half of the equation, If loss of productivity and general work habit change is factored in, does
it become a “non value add” activity? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just wear booties, a hairnet, and lab coat without any detrimental effects to your space?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I think the microelectronic and nanofabrication community has been influenced by the larger fabs in that whatever they do must be the right thing. It’s been many years since we have been gowning up to enter a
clean space but maybe it’s time to determine if the trouble and expense equate to the benefit. Other industries that are under constant expense pressure have altered their methods to lower costs. The food packaging business for example has moved from providing
a clean general space to mini environments in which critical process steps are done in a high HEPA flow area directed at the product.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> Is there anyone in this network that questions this practice and has access to a good scientific study that might help settle this (my) dispute? Is there anyone here that can support my claim of full gowning
to be high cost/low benefit ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
