Gases have been a key enabler of the electronics industry since the first commercial transistors and integrated circuits were produced in the mid-twentieth century.
As we head in to 2018, we look back on a very interesting changing market for krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and neon (Ne) in 2017. Ne supply this year continued to increase as new plants...
3D-NAND flash memory devices (hereafter, called 3D-NANDs) are at the centre of still competition in creating more layers, according to The Gas Review.
Cryoin Engineering Ltd. (Odessa, Ukraine) is one of the leading global manufacturers of rare gases – neon, krypton, xenon and helium from the air (as a by-product of neon production) – as well as gas...
The Linde Group is investing in its own production, increasing and diversifying its portfolio of third-party sources to meet the growing demand for rare gases in electronics.
As we near the end of 2016, we look back on another volatile year for rare gases. In my previous rare gases market review (gasworld.com/2009662.article), we reported that neon (Ne) was in a very critical...
The number of excimer laser units sold for use with semiconductor lithography started to show steady growth last year due to the recovery in neon (Ne) supply.
Air Products has opened a new, state-of-the-art specialty gases and helium (He) transfill facility in Ochang, South Korea.
Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation (TNSC) has developed a turbo-Brayton refrigerator, termed the NeoKelvin®-Turbo 10kW, which can cool high-temperature superconducting power applications at -200ºC by using neon (Ne) gas as the working fluid.
Linde Electronics and Specialty Gases has made another investment in its vertically integrated neon supply chain, with the installation of a production facility at the group’s large ASU in La Porte, Texas.
