Clean air and clean water are essential for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. Even the smallest contaminants – such as dust particles, microbes, chemical vapors, or human skin cells – can damage wafer surfaces and the optics of processing equipment. These contaminants lead to production defects, reduce device efficiency, and compromise the precision of tools. Ultrapure water is equally crucial to ensure smooth manufacturing processes. To conserve resources and maintain operational efficiency, manufacturers must rely on advanced water treatment systems that deliver exceptional purity while minimizing waste. The challenge is to develop filtration solutions for ultrapure water and cleanroom-quality air that deliver both outstanding performance and efficiency. Beyond particle control, managing costs remains a critical priority in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing.
Our portfolio features a comprehensive range of energy-efficient air filters engineered specifically for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. Additionally, we provide cutting-edge membrane technologies for the production and treatment of ultrapure water. With our advanced air filtration solutions, engineers, operators, and facility managers can consistently meet strict cleanroom standards for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing while effectively reducing energy costs. Our products are designed to integrate seamlessly into both new installations and retrofits of HVAC systems — ensuring optimal protection for sensitive electronic devices and components.

Particle and molecular filters for cleaner air in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing
Pollutants such as fine dust and airborne molecular contaminants (AMC) pose significant risks to cleanrooms in electronics and semiconductor production — especially in chip manufacturing. To combat corrosion and other hazards, HVAC systems in cleanrooms require highly effective air filters. Our particle and molecular filters ensure the highest air quality, providing optimal contamination control while preventing dust accumulation on electronics, manufacturing equipment, and sensitive components. By doing so, our solutions support manufacturers, operators, and facility managers in maximizing process reliability and productivity.
- Cleanroom classification with MANN+HUMMEL: Electronics and semiconductor manufacturing demand the strictest cleanroom standards. With our EPA, HEPA*, and ULPA filters, combined with AMC control solutions, our customers can achieve even the most rigorous ISO-1 classification requirements.
- Molecular filters against corrosion: Our molecular filters effectively adsorb gases, AMCs (according to SEMI F21-1016: acids, bases, condensable materials, doping agents, and metals), and remove unpleasant odors, providing reliable protection for people and electronics from corrosion, condensation, and other hazards.
- Simplified cleanroom air filtration: Our filters are energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and versatile. From standardized to customized solutions, whether for new installations or aftermarket applications, we reduce the complexity and cost of achieving effective cleanroom air filtration while increasing overall efficiency.
- Comprehensive solutions from a single source: With our FFUs (Filter Fan Units) and housings, we offer cost-efficient options for cleanroom installation, upgrades, and retrofits. Our focus on maximum performance and flexibility ensures optimal results for every application.
