Last month, this column focused on the use of reusable cleanroom garments as an alternative to disposable garments.

The latest contamination-control innovations and inventions

The biotech industry has political clout.

The performance of any cleanroom and its ability to achieve and maintain the designed cleanliness class are critically dependent on the performance of the air filters used in its construction.

A few days after Intel’s announcement, Freescale Semiconductor (Austin, TX) stated it had solved the problem of building metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) devices in gallium arsenide (GaAs)-an innovation that could mean new uses for GaAs, since GaAs MOSFETs should be faster than their similarly sized silicon counterparts.

For semiconductor processing, being small is big-especially if you’re the first to reach a process node.

There are legitimate concerns about building a Level 4 biosafety laboratory in an urban center such as Boston, but there are also benefits.
