The Challenge
A semiconductor manufacturer in Milpitas was experiencing frequent particle contamination events in their Class 1000 cleanroom, resulting in yield losses averaging $50,000 per incident. Their existing cleaning vendor was using incompatible chemicals, inconsistent gowning procedures, and had no particle count verification process. The facility was at risk of operational disruption.
Our Approach
We deployed a specialized cleanroom team with proper gowning training, anti-static cleaning protocols, and documented procedures. We replaced all cleaning chemicals with cleanroom-compatible products documented for chemical compatibility with the facility's equipment. We implemented pre- and post-clean particle count measurements using calibrated particle counters, providing verified data for every cleaning cycle. We established a gowning audit process and trained our team on the specific requirements of each cleanroom zone. All activities were documented in a log available to the facility's quality assurance team.
The Results
"The difference was measurable from week one. Particle counts dropped, contamination events became rare instead of routine, and our quality team finally has the documentation they need. Pacific Building's cleanroom team operates at a level we didn't think was possible from a janitorial partner."
