Electronic Chemicals & Etchants

Image of integrated circuit with electronic components made from electronic chemicals highlighted in blue and purple

Specialty chemicals are used to enhance the technological performance and cost efficiency of electronic components and devices to keep pace with the dynamic electronics industry. Semiconductor device fabrication requires a series of complicated steps performed in a highly controlled manner, from cleaning, etching, and photolithography, to chemical-mechanical planarization and wet processing. The number of process steps and material layers increase in accordance with semiconductor engineering complexity.
