Ensuring Purity, Reliability, and Process Integrity in Critical Environments

Semiconductor manufacturing demands the strictest control over gas purity and process conditions. Even trace levels of oxygen, moisture, or impurities can impact wafer yield, tool performance, and overall production efficiency. Reliable gas measurement solutions are essential to safeguard process integrity, minimize contamination risks, and support consistent high-quality output.


Industry Challenge: Maintaining Ultra-High Purity

Semiconductor processes rely on an array of specialty gases and chemicals, where even the smallest trace contaminant can cause defects, reduce yields, and increase operational costs.

Challenges include:

  • Oxygen intrusion in UHP gases leading to oxidation and defects.
  • Moisture contamination compromising etching, deposition, and lithography steps.
  • Trace impurities (hydrocarbons, sulfur compounds, ammonia) affecting wafer uniformity.
  • Liquid level fluctuations risking overfill, dry run, or cross-contamination in chemical handling systems.

To overcome these challenges, semiconductor manufacturers require monitoring solutions that deliver ppt / ppb-level sensitivity, fast response, stability, and ease of integration into complex systems.
