That doesn't matter for the undoped crystal structure of the semiconductor material itself. It's like making low background steel: once it's made the radiation in the atmosphere won't mess it up. So then they bring it back to actually make the chips with.
Yeah, this is focused on the materials only. Can't get a better vacuum I guess.
