A novel gas molecule decreasing global warming potential in semiconductor manufacturing.
In order to make specific architectures, making semiconductor device structures requires a number of gas-phase processes that control the growth and removal of materials. Air Liquide made a new line of advanced etching specialty gases to help the semiconductor industry deal with both technological and environmental problems in the future. It helps semiconductor customers in two ways. First, it helps them deal with their new technical challenges for more advanced and complicated devices. Second, it helps the environment by reducing the GWP footprint of their fab.
