Clean air innovation that helps control particulates and airborne molecular contamination
In microelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing, maintaining ultra-clean air quality is critical to protecting sensitive equipment and ensuring stable, high-yield production. Advanced Air filter systems are essential to control airborne particles and corrosive gaseous contaminants that can enter facilities through ventilation systems, surrounding areas, and personnel movement.
Particulate contamination and corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulfide pose serious risks to electronic components. Without proper Gas phase filter solutions, corrosive contaminants can attack circuit boards, edge connectors, IC sockets, and control systems, leading to blocked electrical currents, overheating, equipment failure, and costly downtime.
High-efficiency HEPA filters play a vital role in removing fine particulates, while integrated FFU (Fan Filter Unit) systems deliver consistent, localized clean airflow in cleanrooms and critical production zones. When combined with gas phase filtration, these air filtration technologies provide comprehensive protection for microelectronics manufacturing environments.
AAF provides complete air filtration solutions for microelectronics, including Air filters, Gas phase filter , HEPA filters, and FFU systems, designed to:
-
Prevent production interruptions caused by electronic equipment failure
-
Maintain high process efficiency and yield
-
Extend the service life of circuit boards and sensitive components
-
Reduce maintenance and replacement costs
Product & Solutions
Helps eliminate off-gassing concerns
AAF’s alternatives to standard filter media offer advantages for the cleanroom environment. These advanced media are boron-free, so they won’t release boron gas that can cause a film on wafers. Filters like the MEGAcel l eFRM and MEGAcel ll ePTFE are also chemically inert and hydrophobic, helping make them resistant to water and chemicals in the airstream. Their durability can minimize damage during the handling and installation process.
Allows scanning to protect against leakage
Unlike V-bank HEPA filters, MEGAcel l filters can be scanned for potential leaks. They’re also more durable than traditional glass filters, so they can hold up to normal shipping, storage and installation. Their rugged design not only helps protect against leaks, but it can also help reduce the inventory needed for filter changeouts.
