AlliedSignal Completes German Hydrofluoric Acid - HF - Unit Expansion.MORRIS TOWNSHIP There are several places named Morris Township in the United States:
Begins Offering Ultra-High Purity HF to Semiconductor Manufacturers AlliedSignal Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :ALD ALD abbr. adrenoleukodystrophy ALD, n.pr See adrenoleukodystrophy. ALD aldolase. ) said today that its Specialty Chemicals business has begun offering ultra-high purity hydrofluoric acid hydrofluoric acid /hy·dro·flu·o·ric ac·id/ (-floor´ik) a gaseous haloid acid, HF, extremely poisonous and corrosive. hydrofluoric acid, n a compound consisting of hydrogen and flourine. (HF) and other HF derivative electronic chemicals containing less than 100 ppt ppt abbr. 1. parts per thousand 2. parts per trillion (parts-per-trillion) cations (contaminants) to global semiconductor manufacturers. The new ultra-high purity HF products come as a result of a recently completed multi-million dollar expansion of the company's HF production unit in Seelze, Germany. The 100 ppt HF product offering is a response to the growing demand from the global semiconductor industry for higher-in-purity materials used in integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for device manufacturing. The products, sold under the XLSI-PURANAL(R) trade name, complement AlliedSignal's broad line of ultra-high purity products now available through its Electronic Chemicals group, a team within Specialty Chemicalsthat provides the global semiconductor industry with the highest purity wet process chemicals and solvents. "Offering 100 ppt HF is the result of AlliedSignal's multi-million dollar investment in advanced purification and packaging technology," said Fred Lynch, Electronic Chemicals Business Leader. "It helps to ensure that we can serve as a dependable ultra-high purity HF source for next generation sub-0.18um semiconductor manufacturing." Dr. Wolfgang J. Sievert sie·vert n. Abbr. Sv A unit of ionizing radiation absorbed dose equivalent in the International System of Units, obtained as a product of the absorbed dose measure in grays and a dimensionless factor, stipulated by the International , Electronic Chemicals Global Technical Support Manager added that semiconductor manufacturing processes are becoming more sensitive to increasingly low levels of contaminants. "As critical IC dimensions shrink, gate oxides and metal films become thinner and junctions become more shallow. Utilizing AlliedSignal's 100 ppt products in wet chemical process steps allows semiconductor manufacturers to achieve a significant reduction in residual metal ion contamination," he stated. AlliedSignal's HF plant expansion, the latest in a series of enhancements recently made to its ultra-high purity Electronic Chemicals offering, positions the company as a reliable source of 100 ppt hydrofluoric acid and substantially increases its total HF manufacturing capacity. Already the world's largest HF producer, AlliedSignal supplies customers globally from facilities in Geismar, Louisiana; Amherstburg, Ontario Amherstburg (2006 population 21,748; UA population 13,410) is a town near the mouth of the Detroit River in Essex County, Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 25 kilometres (15 mi) south of Detroit. , Canada; Weert, the Netherlands and Seelze, Germany. In addition to HF, AlliedSignal also offers HF derivative products in 100 ppt quality, including dilute aqueous HF, ammonium hydroxide ammonium hydroxide n. A colorless, basic, aqueous solution of ammonia, NH4OH, used as a household cleanser and in the manufacture of a wide variety of products, including textiles, rayon, rubber, fertilizer, and plastic. , ammonium fluoride solution and buffered oxide etchants (BOEs).
