The biotechnology firm that I worked at was recently in the market for a new gas cabinet. We had recently opened up a new addition to the company, so we needed to purchase some equipment to furnish this new branch. We were in search of a suitable gas cabinet for an affordable price. I was [...]

A reality of manufacturing chips or wafers of any kind is that some kind of inventory of dangerous gas must be kept on-hand and that the economics of employing all of it at once in an automatic gas cabinet are not that compelling. Consequently, gas that is either extremely flammable or otherwise corrosive and lethal [...]

For manufacturers of semiconductors, there is no margin of error when it comes to safety. The volatile and hazardous gasses used in production requires great caution in handling and storage. Cylinder cabinets should therefore be utilized at all times. In fact, at no point from delivery through purging should a cylinder ever leave a cabinet. [...]

One of the most crucial processes in the manufacturing of semiconductor technologies is the dispensation of various hazardous and volatile gasses. As technologies have advanced to require new methods of manufacturing, so have the tools of the trade. Automatic gas cabinets revolutionized operating efficiency and safety by combining gas storage, gas panels, and software to [...]

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.
