Indium Corporation announces new EZ-Pour Gallium Trichloride
Indium Corporation announces the release of a revolutionary new product called EZ-Pour Gallium Trichloride (GaCl3).Gallium trichloride is a unique material that is sometimes difficult to use because it is a solid at room temperature and transfer from one container to the next requires heating. Additionally, traditional gallium trichloride powder typically forms clumps and sticks together. Both of these forms currently inhibit efficient and consistent materials transfer between vessels and processing equipment. EZ-Pour Gallium Trichloride's unique granulated form solves this challenge by eliminating clumping and enabling fast, efficient, safe, and accurate transfer."EZ-Pour Gallium Trichloride is much more efficient, and less cumbersome to work with than traditional GaCl3," said Bill Jackson, Indium Corporation director and general manager of compounds. "Its storage container is easily handled, transferred, resealed, and reused. This enables process engineers and operators to save time, increase quality, and optimize their profits."For more information about EZ-Pour Gallium Trichloride, visit http://www.indium.com/gallium-trichloride.Indium Corporation is a premier materials manufacturer and supplier to the global electronics, semiconductor, solar, thin-film, and thermal management markets. Products include solders and fluxes; brazes; thermal interface materials; sputtering targets; indium, gallium, germanium, and tin metals and inorganic compounds; and NanoFoil. Founded in 1934, Indium has global technical support and factories located in China, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the USA.For more information about Indium Corporation, visit www.indium.com or email abrown@indium.com.Indium EZ-Pour Gallium Trichloride

Entegris offers new VaporSorb filter for advanced yield protection in semiconductor processing
Entegris, Inc., a leader in yield-enhancing materials and solutions for highly advanced manufacturing environments, has announced a product extension for its VaporSorb line of airborne molecular contamination (AMC) filters. VaporSorb is a leading brand of filter used in cleanroom environments and for process tools during key steps in semiconductor manufacturing.VaporSorb filters have been engineered to capture airborne organics, bases and strong acids--all in one filter. The new VaporSorb TRK has added unique material to allow it to become the first single filter to capture not only the top three core contaminant classes, but also the fourth, a group defined as weak acids.Designed specifically for photolithography coater/developer tracks, the new filter was created as a "four-in-one" filter solution to avoid the complexities of multi-filter handling and to build on the previous "three-in-one" technology. In addition, the filter retains the VaporSorb's industry-leading service life to reduce both tool downtime and cost of ownership."Today's photolithography yield concerns can begin to be alleviated by addressing the one potential contaminant class that has to be addressed, and that is weak acids," stated Senior Product Marketing Manager for Entegris AMC Filtration Services, Joe Wildgoose. "With VaporSorb TRK, we not only have a single solution that addresses the three common major concerns, but also the newest and latest concern regarding weak acidic airborne contaminants."Examples of weak acids include acetic and formic acids (acetate; CH3COO- and formate; HCOO-) and nitrous acid (nitrite; NO2-). These contaminants are causing concerns regarding defects and yield in photolithography processing, since they are not removed by traditional AMC filters and, furthermore, may be formed from organic contamination when using traditional filter designs.VaporSorb filters use a unique mix of materials to capture airborne molecular contaminants. The mix was improved by adding a new adsorbent to create the new four-in-one filter. In-field, end-user testing has confirmed that the filter is capable of capturing all organics, bases, strong acids and weak acids that cause wafer or equipment defects.Jason Lai, will make a presentation on the new VaporSorb TRK filer at Semicon Taiwan on Thursday, September 4th at (local time) in the TechXpot area of the conference (or location description).TechXPOT Date: 2014.9.4 Time: 15:30 - 16:00Topic: VaporSorb TRK Chemical Filter - Full Range of AMC Protection for Coater/Developer ToolsPresenter: Mr. Jason Lai, Gas MicrocontaminationLocation: Booth# 2002, 1F Micron Stage, Nangang Exhibition Hall, Taipei World Trade CenterOr, for more information about VaporSorb TRK, go to http://www.entegris.com or contact your regional customer service representative.About EntegrisEntegris is a leading provider of a wide range of products for purifying, protecting and transporting critical materials used in processing and manufacturing in the semiconductor and other high-tech industries.
