Access to cleanliness – symposium report

Contamination control is critical for the operation of high-end manufacturing equipment.


In the ACCESS project, VDL ETG and various research groups from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) collaborate to deepen their fundamental understanding of generation, transport and removal of particle contamination. During a mini-symposium organised at the TU/e campus on 1 February 2024, results were presented and a follow-up was launched to raise the gained knowledge and expertise to a higher level of understanding as well as bring practical application within reach. This Mikroniek article presents a concise report. (Image courtesy of VDL ETG)
