Precision gas delivery is extremely important to semiconductor manufacturing. Various gases in varying flow rates are delivered to produce features on silicon wafers used in manufacturing chips. And with semiconductor manufacturing at critical supply chain and intricacy levels today, it’s crucial to deliver these gases in precise quantities with excellent repeatability and stringent purity levels. […]

At the heart of nearly all today's increasingly complex electronic devices are semiconductors, which are built and shaped using largely gas materials. We look at gases used in each step of the fabrication process, and show you why an operator's ability to precisely and accurately control those gases is what ultimately impacts output.
