Fabrication facility (fab) employees wear special suits, nicknamed “bunny suits,” which are designed to keep contaminants, like lint and hair, off of wafers during chip manufacturing.

Cleanrooms, which are used for chip manufacturing, are thousands of times cleaner than hospital operating rooms.

Employees in the fabrication facility (fab) manage the tools in the cleanroom. Each tool performs one step in creating a chip on a wafer.

Making chips is a complex process and requires hundreds of precisely controlled steps that result in patterned layers of various materials built one on top of one another.
