Fine particulate and Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) need to be carefully controlled for high-yield, low-reject semiconductor manufacturing.
Sources of AMC include:
AAF offers a wide range of filtration solutions starting with pre-filters and fine filters through HEPA and ULPA filters to AMC filters. In addition, AAF offers a wide range of filter housings. In this way cleanroom classes with highest requirements can be achieved.
Failures due to AMC are classified as:
Filter Elements
Housings and Equipment
Panel Filters
Our panel filters are ideal for protecting more expensive secondary air filters from premature dust loading and replacement. As primary filters, they also help reduce HVAC maintenance costs by preventing unnecessary dust build-up on coils, fans and duct work.

Pocket Filters
Our pocket filters (DriPak SX, NX and GX) have the highest dust holding capacity, with optimised pressure drop behaviour for high performance.

Compact Filters
Our VariCel VXL and VariCel VXLE have higher dust holding capacity, which results in less filter changes. They have an extended service life, thus reducing replacement costs.

AAF International engineers are active in standardisation committees in both the United States and Europe. We play an important role in establishing new standards and recommending practices for cleanroom applications.
As an example, our engineers were key contributors in developing and writing the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology Recommended Practices. This professional competence is reflected in the design, manufacture, and testing of each cleanroom filtration solution we produce.
The result is cleanroom filters engineered and assembled to give you the particulate removal you require, while delivering energy efficiencies and savings to your bottom line.
