Wherever the roadmap leads, we'll get you there.

As soon as you reach one technology node, the next one will be waiting around the corner. And we will be there, too. Our CVD low-k solutions include DEMS® and PDEMS® ILD Precursors. And our long-standing OEM relationships and global support make your ramp-up fast and efficient, no matter where you are in your process.

We have a broad portfolio of materials, the technical experience needed to help you integrate them quickly into your processes, and the focus to provide these solutions effectively.

Technology Developments

As chipmakers implement low-k, it is apparent that integration schemes are becoming more end-user specific. Adoption of porous low-k materials (like our PDEMS offering) enables the co-introduction of various integration support products. Through our Air Products ACT® product line, we have developed compatible strippers and wet clean solutions for successful integration.

Air Products expertise in low-k development continues to focus on integration support in the areas of chamber clean, UV cure optimization, dielectric restoration, pore sealing, and advancements in reactive ion etch (RIE) and ash technology.

Equipment

Air Products offers a full line of gas and chemical delivery systems, featuring our GASGUARD® and CHEMGUARD® fabwide delivery systems.

MEGASYS Onsite Services

A complete supply of all gases, equipment, materials, and services by a team of Air Products onsite operations experts. This arrangement allows the semiconductor manufacturer to achieve more effective operations, greater technical innovations, improved safety and environmental protection, and lower device and ownership costs through higher yields and improved uptime.
