Semiconductors

We enable the semiconductor industry to make electronic devices more powerful by providing highly innovative material based solutions.

Small in size, immense in output

The speed with which information technology is developing is breathtaking. High-performance edge devices such as smartphones and sensors are now a natural part of our everyday life. Over the years they have become increasingly powerful and yet substantially smaller due to high density integrated circuits.

 

Modern microchips and sensors are the most important enablers for next generation products regarding higher performance, additional features, smaller form factors and better interconnectivity. These devices raise the need for innovative materials. Our research is directed at creating new material solutions that will enable our customers to develop devices and sensors progressing industrial, commercial and medical intercommunication.

A world of possibilities

Circuits the size of a postage stamp can now accommodate nearly as many elements as there are people on earth — about seven billion. Our materials help to advance this development.

Smaller, faster, better

Our Performance Materials business offers a wide range of specialty chemicals required in the production process of semiconductors. They are created in patterned layers that ultimately form a complete integrated circuit. With each new generation of devices, semiconductor manufacturers work on further reducing the size of their products while at the same time achieving higher functionality and greater processing power.

 

All this is made possible by the chemicals we produce—and we know there is a lot more to come. Everyday devices such as smartphones, tablets and e-readers will all contribute to the growth of the semiconductor industry, but we will also see growing demands in other areas such as automotive, medical and industrial applications. 

Enabling Innovation

Our chemical technology makes it possible to enhance existing processes and innovate new products. That’s why leading global players in the electronics industry consider us a reliable and critical partner.
