Airkey, a leading cleanroom manufacturer in China, completed a 400 sqm modular cleanroom in Malaysia for semiconductor industry production. This ISO 6 and ISO 8 cleanroom controls temperature and humidity for manufacturing integrated systems for thinned wafers on tape frames. The project was completed in 1 month. Learn about our fast-track cleanroom construction solutions.
A cleanroom engineered for precision semiconductor manufacturing
The newly built facility spans approximately 400 square meters with a 3-meter ceiling height and is strategically segmented into critical zones to support complex manufacturing processes:
ISO 8 Cleanroom (318 sqm): Maintains a stable temperature of 22±3°C, serving as a primary assembly and staging area.
ISO 6 Cleanroom (85 sqm): Features precise control of both temperature (22±3°C) and humidity (50-70% RH), creating an ultra-clean environment for the most sensitive production stages.
Controlled access and contamination control: The layout includes dedicated personnel change rooms and material buffer rooms with roller shutter doors to ensure proper gowning procedures and material flow. A dedicated air shower passage between the ISO 8 and ISO 6 zones further minimizes contamination and protects product integrity.
Purpose-built for cutting-edge “thinned wafers on tape frames” technology
This Airkey modular cleanroom is specifically designed to house the production of a sophisticated fully integrated modular system—a precision machine that processes thinned wafers on tape frames. This machine is critical for advanced semiconductor packaging and performs a seamless, automated process sequence:
-
Uniform coating application for layers ranging from 10 μm to 200 μm in thickness.
-
Precise bake solidification with exceptional thermal uniformity of ±5°C.
-
Gentle yet effective post-process cleaning.
To ensure the machine’s performance and product yield, the entire process requires an internal Class 100 cleanroom environment throughout its modules. The surrounding ISO 6 cleanroom built by Airkey provides the essential stable, ultra-low particulate foundation for this sensitive equipment to operate optimally.
Innovative modular design for unbeatable speed and efficiency
A key success factor of this Malaysia project was Airkey’s comprehensive modular cleanroom construction approach, which drastically reduced on-site time without compromising quality.
-
Plug-and-play HVAC integration: Beyond the wall and ceiling panels, the HVAC system was also modularized. Flush-mounted air return wall panels came with pre-fabricated duct collars, allowing for quick connection to flexible ducts linked directly to Fan Filter Units (FFUs). This design simplifies installation, ensures efficient air recirculation for energy savings, and enhances the stability of the temperature and humidity control system.
-
Record-breaking timeline: From dispatch of materials to final commissioning and testing, Airkey completed the entire cleanroom construction process within an impressive 1 month. This fast-track deployment minimizes downtime for clients and accelerates their time-to-market.
For semiconductor companies and equipment manufacturers looking to expand or upgrade their manufacturing footprint, Airkey’s model offers a compelling proposition: fast-track cleanroom deployment without compromising on the rigorous specifications demanded by ISO 14644 standards.
