The manufacturing processes and practices required to produce to solid state technology are far more complex than the deceptively simple science that underpins semiconductor technology. But as Moore’s Law predicts that processing increases exponentially while price decreases inversely, so too does the return on investing in the new production technologies that make smaller and more [...]

The old cliché goes that what’s good for morality and profitability in business rarely align. While honest business practices have shown us that this is far from true, there is one area in which doing the right thing is undoubtedly good for business, even to the sinister cynic: ensuring the safety of the work environment. [...]

For production processes involving the extensive use of gas, safe, reliable, and effective storage and delivery are crucial. Thankfully for manufacturers of high technology, gas delivery systems have kept pace with manufacturing practices to ensure safety and reliability and facilitate even the most complex production processes involving the use of both volatile and inert gasses. [...]

While the semiconductor manufacturing often evokes images of robotic arms stamping chips, the manufacturing processes of silicon technology is more chemical than it is mechanical. Simply put, creating semiconductors requires impeccably precise placement of materials with special conductive properties onto a silicon wafer to manage the flow of electric current. Many of the chemical processes [...]

Manufacturers of silicon technologies know how crucial gas delivery systems are to the production process. From the standpoint of safety, reliability, and cost, a sound delivery system can have huge repercussions on the scalability and profitability of operations. In a word, safer, more reliable, and less expensive delivery systems make it possible for manufacturers of [...]
