In order to cater to the Electronics industry, EOX has a Nitrogen Generator Plant located in Sama Jaya Free Industrial Zone. To keep up with the large demand in this sector, EOX has invested in underground pipelines to supply the gas directly to these customers. With these pipelines, problems associated with delivery are eliminated. Beside Nitrogen, EOX also supply electronic industry with specialty gases and other purified / certified gases.

We offer a full line of mixtures to fit any analytical requirement, from unanalyzed mixtures for non-critical applications, to high accuracy analytical mixtures certified to NIST standards.

Type of gasses used in this industry includes:

NITROGEN

A growing application for nitrogen is the inerting of printed circuit board reflow and wave soldering ovens, to prevent oxidation and facilitate the use of weaker fluxes that decompose more easily without leaving a residue.

The semiconductor industry uses ultra high purity nitrogen to inert a number of elevated temperature reactor operations associated with the processing of silicon wafers to microcircuits. Most of the volume however is used for the general inerting of wafers moving on tracks, idling in reactors and ramping up and down in temperature. Many active gases are mixed with nitrogen to achieve the deposition or removal of material on the surface of silicon wafers. Some of the addition gases are silane (SiH4), arsine (AsH3), phosphine (PH3), boron trichloride (BCI3) and many others.

ARGON

In the semiconductor industry argon is used in a number of device fabrication steps but its largest volume is as a protective atmosphere in the manufacture of single crystal silicon by a number of processes known as crystal pulling. In the Czochralski or CZ process, which accounts for about 85% of all wafers produced, a seed crystal is immersed in amolten ultra-high purity silicon and a cylindrical bar of single crystal silicon is gradually pulled from the melt. The single crystal is sliced into thin wafers for subsequent processing into semiconductor chips. Single crystals provide the uniform orientation of molecules essential in the use of silicon as a semiconductor.
