Keeping Your Class 100 Cleanroom Actually Clean While Heating

When you’re packaging smart sensors, “clean” isn’t just a goal—it’s everything. In a Class 100 environment, one tiny flake of oxidized metal or a single speck of dust is enough to trash an entire batch. It’s a nightmare. The problem? Most standard heating elements are basically particle factories. They outgas or shed bits of themselves every time they heat up and cool down.

Getting Your Thermal Data Right in the Smart Fab

If you’re building out a smart Fab, the first thing you’ve got to do is ditch the contact sensors. Seriously. In a high-throughput wafer tool, you just can’t deal with the lag. Plus, sticking a physical probe into the mix is basically asking for contamination. That’s why we lean on infrared (IR) systems. They let you grab real-time thermal data without ever touching the wafer, and the stream flows right into your PLC or SCADA. It just works.
