Customers We Support
Semiconductors and Photovoltaics
In the Semiconductor industry, size always matters. Semiconductors are integral to everything from processors found inside smartphones, high performance computing or computers to memory chips and image sensors, the use of semiconductor chips or integrated-circuits is now spreading outside the digital world. With every new application and end-user expectation for more performances come ever-greater challenges to produce smaller and more cost-efficient semiconductor chips.
As the world turns to renewables, solar photovoltaic system installation has been steadily increasing. The global solar photovoltaic end-market has maintained double-digit growth in certain geographies, with various financial supports from governments.
Complex 3D structures are created by combining deposition with Reactive Ion Etching and Atomic Layer Etching.
Semiconductors are made of successive patterned layers of various elements, such as silicon or metals. Forming these very thin layers (just a few atoms) requires acute control over the depositing and structuring of these elements.
Manufacturing electronic devices in a sterile environment is fundamental. Our high purity gases guarantee the cleanliness and stability of our customers’ processes. Air Liquide supply these gases in cylinders, bulk, via pipelines or produce them at the customer’s site.
We supply and install gas and chemical dispense equipment for new manufacturing facilities, and support the turnkey installation of ultrapure gas and chemical distribution networks. We also provide central control and monitoring systems.
Our specialists provide value-added services in many fields. They have a safety record, operational efficiency and reputation for creating value that has in turn made Air Liquide the industry benchmark and worldwide leader in Total Gas and Chemical Management (TGCM) services for the Electronics industry.
Flat Panel Displays
The mobility revolution is truly upon us. Thinner smart phones, cheaper tablets and lighter notebooks are just the precursor of what is in store for this new era of portable electronic devices. Yet none of these advances, or those to come, would be possible without the compact and lightweight qualities of flat panel displays.
The need to continuously improve the user experience creates demand for a new generation of displays that are cheaper, thinner, lighter, more energy-efficient, flexible and higher in resolution. Already, advances in display technology have enabled the creation of curved television sets that offer very deep contrast and smart-phones that run twice as long.
Asia is the epicenter of flat panel display manufacturing, with 95% of production shared between Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China and Singapore.
Photonics
Photonics is a sensitive science that demands high-purity gases and stable gas mixtures, as well as dedicated equipment and installations to preserve gas purity.
Fibre Optics
Fibre Optics The first step in manufacturing fiber optics is producing preform, a silica glass rod. Hydrogen, Oxygen and Helium are all used to consolidate the preform, which is then melted in a furnace and drawn into fiber optics at a rate of 1,500 to 2,000m per minute. Helium is then used to cool the drawn fiber efficiently. Air Liquide supplies these gases at ultra high purities to support fiber optics manufacturers.
LED
Material used for white and blue LEDs needs one Nitrogen atom. This is where UHP Ammonia steps in during the deposition phase of production. In liquid form at room temperature, Ammonia must be heated to be used in gaseous phase. To allow its customers to use larger volumes of this gas, Air Liquide has developed an induction-based heating solution to vaporise UHP Ammonia more efficiently.

FAQ: Electronics Gas Solutions
How does Air Liquide ensure supply chain resilience in Thailand?
We mitigate your supply risks through supply modes and infrastructure:
- Onsite generation: High-purity nitrogen produced at your facility, complete with back up supply protects your production from supply chain disruptions.
- Present in industrial basins: Air Liquide has 3 gas production sites in Saraburi, Rayong and Chonburi, Thailand supply customers.
Why choose "branded" products like ALOHA™, Voltaix™, enScribe™?
These advanced precursors are essential for specialised semiconductor processes (3D structures/Atomic Layer Etching).
- Full compatibility with next-gen OEM equipment.
- Prevent costly downtime caused by generic materials.
Why choose Total Gas and Chemicals Management (TGCM) with Air Liquide?
TGCM allows you to focus on your production with a peace of mind.
- Services Consolidation: Manage just one contract for all ultrapure gases, specialty gases and delivery.
- Prevent Unplanned Downtime: Air Liquide takes full responsibility for gas level monitoring via telemetry and resupply on-time to make sure your production keeps going.
Can Air Liquide help us meet ESG and Sustainability targets?
Our solutions specifically target:
- Waste Reduction: Less solder dross means less hazardous waste disposal.
- Carbon Footprint: We provide equipment such as the ECO CHILLER that reduces your energy needs and supply low-carbon gas options under our ECO ORIGIN™ product range.
