Over the past 20 years, NWESI has worked with every major high tech company in the Silicon Forest. Today, we provide services for more fabs than any other company in our service area. We regularly demonstrate our ability to keep pace with the current industry practices and set new standards for accuracy and effectiveness.

We understand the unique needs that working in your environment entails. For example, we know how critical the cleanroom environment is to your success and are dedicated to zero impact work policies. We have spent hundreds of thousands of hours working in operational cleanroom environments and have repeatedly demonstrated that our attention to detail allows us to provide our services without impact.

The spectrum of services we provide in this area is vast. We have the instrumentation and expertise to provide services related to annual re-certification or new construction, and can also help you optimize your fab's performance. In addition, we can help you:

Find solutions.
As cleanrooms became cleaner and the needs for more precise airflow measurements were established, NWESI led the industry by developing methods to increase the accuracy and repeatability of airflow measurements and documentation. For example, the "hood-stand," which NWESI was first to employ, increases productivity and improves accuracy when measuring airflow through ceiling filters.

Solve production problems.
NWESI is often asked to help identify the source of low production yields. By applying our engineering expertise and knowledge we are able to find solutions. It's no accident that the fabs NWESI works in are some of the highest yielding facilities in the world, and are on the leading edge of technology development.

Identify energy savings.
NWESI can help identify opportunities for energy savings. Opportunities are often found in reduced airflows through ceiling filters, exhaust airflow, makeup airflow, and sequences of operation. We provide in-depth analysis that includes expected energy savings, payback periods, and probable results. Energy savings can then be monitored and demonstrated with stand-alone trending equipment. That gives you confirmation that your systems are operating as planned.
