The process of getting into and out of a clean room is elaborate, time-consuming and presumably prone to error. This could be circumvented by using VR-interfaced remote control androids, meaning that access would only be necessary if a repair were needed to the actual androids which could not be effected
by others. Same applies to operating theatres.
Go on, tell me it's baked in a similar form.
PS: Sorry this is in "other:general" - i'll move it when i get the chance.
Did somebody say "fractal chips"?

no such thing as //remote controlled androids// capable of work at that level of detail. |

By remarkable coincidence, I have just come out
of our cleanroom. However, it is probably not
what most people call a cleanroom - we use it for
microfluidics (basically the same processes as for
semiconductors), and the set-up is very simple
but effective. |
|
| |
That said, cleanliness is much more important for
making large and complex chips, and changing in
and out is indeed a tedious business. |
|
| |
I am pretty sure, though, that serious chip
manufacturers have already automated as much as
possible of the process, both for cleanliness and
for efficiency/consistency. |

//cleanliness is much more important for making large and complex chips// It's true. When making the superior Mandelbrot chip, which is infinitely more flavourful than the traditional oblong variety, fresh oil and a clean cooking vessel are essential. Week old lard tends to clog the convolutions and stick to the teeth. It's just a matter of fracticality. |

Fractal chips? Would munch. |
|
| |
Whereas i'm sure there aren't, if there were the idea would be other than halfbaked. |
|
| |
meh. the least you could do is make them animatronic rabbits. |

//By remarkable coincidence, I have just come out of our cleanroom// - doesn't Maxwell Towers have a clean wing? |

|

All the wings are clean, thanks mainly to the
continued efforts of Mrs Clepsydra and her staff.
However, I was referring to the Buchanan Laboratory
which, for reasons of safety, is located well away
from the main house. |

Today is clearly a day of coincidences. I am the
proud fabricator of the world's first and only
Sierpinski gasket microfluidic chip (link). |

Utterly useless but it was fun. |
