Praxair Chemax Wins Bulk Specialty Gas Delivery System Contract from Led Manufacturer in Taiwan.DANBURY, Conn. -- Praxair Chemax Semiconductor Materials Semiconductor materials are insulators at absolute zero temperature that conduct electricity in a limited way at room temperature (see also Semiconductor). The defining property of a semiconductor material is that it can be doped with impurities that alter its electronic properties Co. Ltd., a joint venture between Praxair, Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :PX), and China Petrochemical Development Corp, has been awarded a contract by Taiwanese light emitting diodes (LED) manufacturer, South Epitaxy epitaxy Process of growing a crystal of a particular orientation on top of another crystal. If both crystals are of the same material, the process is known as homoepitaxy; if the materials are different, it is known as heteroepitaxy. Corp. (SEC). The contract will be fulfilled by Praxair Electronics, a division of Praxair, based in Orangeburg, N.Y. SEC purchased the bulk specialty gas delivery system for its new fab, which is under construction. It is the second bulk specialty gas delivery system award from SEC to Praxair. "Praxair's offering is designed to meet SEC's requirements for moisture-free NH3 delivered at high and variable flow rates in a safe and reliable manner for the production of ultra-high brightness blue LEDs," said Gordon Chen Gordon Chen (1821-1907) is a character in the James Clavell Asian Saga novels Tai-Pan and Gai-Jin. He is the illegitimate Chinese/Scottish son of Dirk Struan, founder of Struan's Trading Company, called the "Noble House".
