We deliver a wide range of value-added technologies to help you meet your specific cost and environmental challenges.
High-Purity Nitrous Oxide Facilities
To support innovation in the display sector, we have established two new high-purity nitrous oxide (N2O) gas facilities in Taiwan and Korea and newly acquired a third plant in China. The aim of this major investment is to accelerate the adoption of metal oxide transistors by display manufacturers which will enable the cost-effective development of next-generation ultra high definition (UHD) 3D TFT-LCD and OLED displays.
On-Site Fluorine Generation
We pioneered the use of molecular fluorine (F2) to replace gases with a high global warming potential such as nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). These are currently used to clean chemical vapour deposition (CVD) chambers in the manufacture of flat panel displays. Our Generation-F® On-Site fluorine generators deliver the most effective cleaning gas available, reducing cleaning time by over 50%, reducing tool downtime and improving line throughput by up to 10%.
Nitrogen Generation
Our SPECTRA-N™ nitrogen generators are the most cost-effective and reliable way of supplying ultra-pure nitrogen in the large quantities needed by display manufacturers. With gas impurity levels below 1ppb, the SPECTRA-N consumes less power than conventional generators and also provides excellent turndown capabilities to meet facility ramp-up requirements.
Full Spectrum
We offer the full range of gas and chemical products to support all display flat panel manufacturing processes:
Ultra-pure bulk gases
On-site gas generators
Electronic special gases in cylinder and bulk supply
Special and wet process chemicals
Carbon nanotube material innovation for next generation displays.
