Microprocessor companies such as Microsoft and Amd use cleanrooms to manufacture chips that go inside pc's. Video cards are also manufactured in cleanrooms. Cleanrooms are specified by classes. A class "one" clean room is the cleanest of all. This process of determining class depends on the amount of particle dust found in one cubic foot. For instance imagine a grain of sand that were to fall on to a microprocessor. It would destroy it and no one would know until you got it from the retail store. In micro processing it is essential to work in cleanrooms when assembling and manufacturing microchips. The name of the suit work in a cleanroom is called a "bunny suit" after it's all white appearance.
