Energy conservation: Cost is not the real issue
For some time now we've been concerned about energy conservation in semiconductor manufacturing cleanrooms. Papers have been written, seminars have been conducted, consultants have proliferated and engineers have gone back to drawing boards where they've produced solutions-some quite innovative and others rather exotic

HAACP, please, hold the scotch
While nearly all CleanRooms East 2002 conference sessions drew better-than-expected numbers, it was surprising that two presentations-one on flammability of cleanroom materials and another on the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) program-did not draw standing-room-only crowds

Turning it up a notch
One thing that CleanRooms never wants to be accused of is complacency. That's why you see a member of the Clean Rooms staff at just about every conference and show that touches contamination-control issues and technology around the world
