Cleanroom Evaluation

We are recognized as a world leader in cleanroom contamination control and reduction.

Balazs™ participates in ITRS committees and offer its expertise to advance cleanroom materials and technologies. We stay at the leading edge through innovative methodology development for lower detection limits.

Analyses

  • Organics
  • Metals
  • Anions
  • Cations
  • Particles
  • Dopants

Sample Types and Techniques

Cleanroom Surfaces and Equipment Contamination
  • Wipe analysis for trace metals by ICP-MS, anions by ion chromatography and organics by FTIR
Material and Components Analyses
  • In-instrument outgassing by dynamic headspace gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (DHS GC-MS) 
  • Off-line room temperature 40% RH air outgassing by GC-MS
  • Off-line selected temperature outgassing by GC-MS
  • IDEMA semi-quantitative DHS-TD-GC-MS Outgassing M11-99

Cleanroom Air Analysis and Witness Wafers

  • Trace metals in air and on witness wafers
  • Dopants in air and on witness wafers (B, P, As, Sb)
  • Acids and bases in air (including ammonium and amines)
  • Organics in air and on witness wafers
  • Balazs™ also offers SEMI F21-1102 analysis for classification of molecular acids, bases, condensables and dopants
