    Why filter the air at all? Why not just turn the clean room into a vacuum? No air contaminants since there’s no air. All the stuff in there looks to be automated anyway.

    I have no idea how silicon fabs work so this probably isn’t realistic.

      Many reasons! The enormous building imploding is probably the big one, but risks from cold welding, use of atmospheric cooling, relying on exposure to atmosphere for many steps in the process, etc. are all additional factors. It’s a good question though.
