Imagine a room where the air is so clean you can't find a single speck of dust!
From the outside, the building may seem ordinary, but inside, on the second floor, our engineers and scientists are hard at work designing and creating microchips, sensors, and other tiny electronic components. This level of cleanliness is absolutely essential because even the tiniest particle can ruin these delicate and precise products.
Check out this 15-minute video tour of our cleanroom to see the lengths we go to keep things clean and how our cleanroom staff follow "cleanroom behavior" rules. Spoiler alert: no running allowed! As it disrupts the airflow and generates particles.
Take a Virtual Tour!
Curious to explore the cleanrooms yourself? Click on the door illustration below to step into our 3D virtual tour of our facility. In a real visit, you'd need to suit up in special, dust-free clothing, and only cleanroom-compatible materials would be allowed—no regular paper or fabrics. But don't worry, in this virtual tour, you can freely explore our state-of-the-art facility. Enjoy the journey!
