Electronic Gases

Electronic gases are a crucial component in the manufacturing processes of electronic devices, such as semiconductors, microchips, solar cells, and flat-panel displays. At Ace Gases, we specialize in supplying electronic gases such as silane, diborane, ammonia, N2O, NF3, and rare gases in various grades and supply modes, including cylinders, Multi-Cylinder Pallets, Y-Cylinders, T-Cylinders, Tube-Trailers, ISO Tanks, and Bubblers. With our extensive distribution network and experience in exporting electronic gases to diverse users in the Asia Pacific region, we have established a strong reputation for delivering high-quality products and reliable service.

One of our key strengths is our skilled handling of Dangerous Goods (DG) cargo, ensuring utmost safety in logistics and warehousing. We prioritize the health and safety of our customers and employees, and to further enhance our commitment, we have recently established an Emergency Response Team (ERT) to ensure the safety and well-being of our customers and employees in the event of any accidents or emergencies related to electronic specialty gases (ESG). The ERT is a dedicated team trained to handle emergency situations promptly and effectively, providing immediate response and assistance when needed.

The applications and uses of electronic gases are diverse and varied. For example, nitrogen trifluoride is used as an etchant and chamber-cleaning agent in the semiconductor industry, while silane is a silicon precursor for many silicon-containing thin films used in the production of solar photovoltaic modules. Ammonia is commonly used for the deposition of silicon nitride, which is deposited as a thin film on electronic chips. Electronic gases are also used in the production of LED and OLED displays and in the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Electronic gases find their use in various fields, such as electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, and renewable energy. In the electronics industry, they are used in the production of integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, and displays. The semiconductor industry uses electronic gases for processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma etching, and ion implantation. The renewable energy industry utilizes electronic gases for the manufacturing of solar panels.

Application

Semiconductor Manufacturing

Electronic gases play a crucial role in the production of semiconductors, which are used in a wide range of electronic devices.

Lighting

Certain electronic gases are used in lighting applications. For example, neon is used in neon lights and signage, while krypton and xenon are used in incandescent and fluorescent bulbs to improve brightness and lifespan.

Medical Applications

Electronic gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide are used in medical applications. Oxygen is used for respiratory support, while nitrogen is used for cryopreservation and to preserve and protect medical samples. Carbon dioxide is used for medical imaging and as a coolant during surgical procedures.

Welding and Cutting

Electronic gases like argon, helium, and hydrogen are commonly used in welding and cutting applications. These gases help to protect the weld pool from contamination, improve arc stability, and increase the efficiency of the process.

Chemical Processing

Electronic gases are used in a wide range of chemical processing applications, including gas chromatography, chemical vapor deposition, and plasma etching. These processes require high-purity gases to ensure accuracy and consistency.
