What role does Air Liquide play in the electronics industry ?
As society becomes increasingly digital, the electronics industry is faced with growing demands for increased performance and production of semiconductors. Air Liquide helps the industry by providing the ultrapure gases and innovative materials necessary for manufacturing chips. The Group’s innovation capacity facilitates the development and manufacturing of the highest-quality, fastest and most powerful nanoscale devices.
What challenges are electronics players facing ?
In roughly 15 years, the size of silicon transistors has already decreased from 65 to 5 nanometers. At this scale, flawless quality, product stability, safety and reliability are critical, which is why the electronics industry has specific and very stringent quality requirements for all gases and chemicals supplied to its production plants. In addition to these technological challenges, the industry is also committed to producing semiconductors with smaller environmental footprints, to contribute to low-carbon computing.
How is Air Liquide supporting customers to meet these challenges ?
We are driven by our innovative mindset. Since the early 2000s, we have been working on materials called precursors, which deliver specific tailored solutions to customers in the memory and logic segments. More recently, enScribe™ range materials allow etching at a nanoscale with a minimized environmental impact. Over the years, we have ramped up our expertise and now we offer a unique portfolio of solutions and advanced materials backed by the best innovation capability in the industry.
