Ultra-high purity gases are essential throughout the semiconductor supply chain. In fact, for a typical fab, high-purity gases are the largest material expense after silicon itself. In the wake of the global chip shortage, the industry is expanding faster than ever - and the demand for high purity gases is increasing. The most commonly used bulk gases in semiconductor manufacturing are nitrogen, helium, hydrogen and argon.   Nitrogen   Nitrogen makes up 78% of our atmosphere and is extremely abundant. It also happens to be chemically inert and non-conductive. As a result, nitrogen has found its way into a number of industries as a cost-effective inert gas. The semiconductor industry is a major consumer of nitrogen. A modern semiconductor manufacturing plant is expected to use up to 50,000 cubic meters of nitrogen per hour. In semiconductor manufacturing, nitrogen acts as a general purpose inerting and purging gas, protecting sensitive silicon wafers from reactive oxygen and moisture in the air.   Helium   Helium is an inert gas. This means that, like nitrogen, helium is chemically inert - but it also has the added advantage of high thermal conductivity. This is particularly useful in semiconductor manufacturing, allowing it to efficiently conduct heat away from high-energy processes and help protect them from thermal damage and unwanted chemical reactions.   Hydrogen   Hydrogen is used extensively throughout the electronics manufacturing process, and semiconductor production is no exception. In particular, hydrogen is used for:   Annealing: Silicon wafers are typically heated to high temperatures and slowly cooled to repair (anneal) the crystal structure. Hydrogen is used to transfer heat evenly to the wafer and to assist in rebuilding the crystal structure.   Epitaxy: Ultra-high purity hydrogen is used as a reducing agent in the epitaxial deposition of semiconductor materials such as silicon and germanium.   Deposition: Hydrogen can be doped into silicon films to make their atomic structure more disordered, helping to increase resistivity.   Plasma Cleaning: Hydrogen plasma is particularly effective in removing tin contamination from light sources used in UV lithography.   Argon   Argon is another noble gas, so it exhibits the same low reactivity as nitrogen and helium. However, argon's low ionization energy makes it useful in semiconductor applications. Because of its relative ease of ionization, argon is commonly used as the primary plasma gas for etch and deposition reactions in semiconductor manufacturing. In addition to this, argon is also used in excimer lasers for UV lithography.   Why purity matters   Typically, advances in semiconductor technology have been achieved through size scaling, and the new generation of semiconductor technology is characterized by smaller feature sizes. This yields multiple benefits: more transistors in a given volume, improved currents, lower power consumption and faster switching.   However, as the critical size decreases, semiconductor devices become increasingly sophisticated. In a world where the position of individual atoms matters, fault tolerance thresholds are very tight. As a result, modern semiconductor processes require process gases with the highest possible purity. WOFLY is a high-tech enterprise specializing in gas application system engineering: electronic special gas system, laboratory gas circuit system, industrial centralized gas supply system, bulk gas (liquid) system, high purity gas and special process gas secondary piping system, chemical delivery system, pure water system to provide a full set of engineering and technical services and ancillary products from the technical consulting, overall planning, system design, selecting the equipment, prefabricated components, the installation and construction of the project site, the overall system testing, maintenance and other supporting products in an integrated manner.

                                 How Does A Pressure Regulator Work?   There are a surprisingly large number of options on the market when it comes to choosing pressure regulators. But the truth is that every type of pressure regulator has a unique capability, and as a result, serves a unique purpose in every application. At Wofly, we want all of our clients to become more knowledgeable about the various sorts of regulators that are out there and how to choose the one that would meet their needs the best.     Different Pressure Regulator Types   Regulators for Pressure in Stainless Steel   A single stage pressure regulator known as pressure reducing is made to accept a greater inlet pressure (P1) and lower it to a lower controlled exit pressure (P2).   A back pressure regulator, sometimes known as a "overflow" regulator, is made to keep the inlet pressure (P1) constant while providing end users with a controlled and reliable line pressure.   A dual-stage pressure regulator called Cylinder Pressure is made to accept a higher inlet pressure (P1) and reduce it to a lower controlled exit pressure (P2). To provide a higher level of control accuracy as the gas cylinder depletes, these are frequently put on gas cylinders or bottles.     Specialty Regulators: These are regulators that use any of the aforementioned principles but are created for specific applications, such as miniature or compact versions for small spaces, dome-loaded designs for pneumatic pilot air operation, high pressure designs for up to 6,000PSIG control, high flow designs for up to 3.00 Cv, high temperature designs for up to +230°C, crossover manifolds for automatic cylinder bottle switching, and more.     How a Pressure Regulator Works     When media enters the device through the intake port of one of our popular R11 Series single stage pressure lowering regulators, it is held bubble-tight underneath the poppet in the seat area, as seen by the red area in the animation. The regulated release of outlet pressure is then achieved by winding down on the hand knob, which forces the diaphragm down onto the poppet (manually activating the diaphragm), as depicted by the blue area in the animation.

Composition of Ferrule Connector     AFK ferrule type pipe connector is composed of four parts: front ferrule, Back ferrule, ferrule nut and connector body. Advanced design and strict quality ensure that the pipe connector is completely sealed under correct installation.     Operating Principle of Ferrule Connector   When assembling the ferrule joint, the front ferrule is pushed into the joint body and ferrule to form the main seal, and then the ferrule is hinged inward to form a strong grip on the ferrule. The geometry of the rear ferrule is conducive to the generation of advanced engineering hinge clamp action, which can transform the axial movement into the radial extrusion of the ferrule, requiring only a small assembly torque during operation.   Features of AFK Ferrule Connector   1.Active load and double ferrule design 2.Easy and correct installation 3.The torque will not be transmitted to the ferrule during installation 4.Fully compatible   Features of Double Ferrules   The double ferrule separates the sealing function from the gripping function of the ferrule, and each ferrule is optimized for its corresponding function.   The front ferrule is used to form a seal:   1. Sealing with connector body 2. Seal the outer diameter of the ferrule.   When the nut is rotated, the rear ferrule will:   1. Push the front ferrule axially 2. Apply an effective clamping sleeve along the radial direction for gripping

The components of the diaphragm valve are as follows:   Valve cover   The valve cover serves as the top cover and is bolted to the valve body. It protects the compressor, valve stem, diaphragm and other non wetting parts of the diaphragm valve.   valve body   The valve body is a component directly connected with the pipe through which the fluid passes. The flow area in the valve body depends on the type of diaphragm valve.   The valve body and bonnet are made of solid, rigid and corrosion resistant materials. Diaphragm   The diaphragm is made of a highly elastic polymer disc that moves downward to contact the bottom of the valve body to restrict or obstruct the passage of fluid. If fluid flow is to be increased or the valve is to be fully opened, the diaphragm will rise. The fluid flows below the diaphragm. However, due to the material and structure of the diaphragm, this assembly limits the operating temperature and pressure of the valve. It must also be replaced regularly, because its mechanical properties will decrease during use.   The diaphragm isolates the non wetted parts (compressor, valve stem and actuator) from the flow medium. Therefore, solid and viscous fluids are unlikely to interfere with the diaphragm valve operating mechanism. This also protects non wetted parts from corrosion. On the contrary, the fluid in the pipeline will not be contaminated by the lubricant used to operate the valve.

As a national key industry, the semiconductor industry is booming. In the production process of semiconductor products, only by ensuring the stability of packaging quality, can the final yield and reliability of integrated circuits be guaranteed. In order to ensure the quality of packaging, in addition to the need for advanced production lines, both the R&D and production of chips and the packaging of parts are inseparable from a safe and reliable electronic special gas system.

Because the gas properties of special gases can meet the process needs of the industry, they are widely used in semiconductor, electronics, liquid crystal, photovoltaic and solar cell industries, and are crucial in the production process of the semiconductor industry. However, most of the special gases are dangerous gases, such as SiH4, NF3, etc. Therefore, ensuring the safe use of special gas is the significance of the existence of special gas system. The special gas system is generally composed of special gas equipment, special gas pipeline and terminal, and the special gas holder is the core equipment of the special gas system.   The full-automatic gas holder of Wofei Technology takes PLC as the control main body, cooperates with the touch screen for system display and setting, and matches with different panel designs to meet the needs of the solar energy and semiconductor industry. It also has the advantages of simple operation, high control software compatibility, high system stability, and full alarm recording function. The special gas holder can support network or wiring for signal output.

The gas holder control system (hydrogen control system) can be operated and controlled remotely by means of network to increase the convenience and safety of operation. The special gas system project is an important and dangerous project, and the special gas holder is the core equipment related to most of its functions. The special gas system project without the special gas holder is incomplete.

Pipeline transportation is one of the five major logistics transportation modes in modern times. It has the outstanding characteristics of large transportation volume, continuity, rapidity, economy, safety, reliability, stability, low investment, small land occupation, low cost, and automatic control. Since the 12th Five Year Plan, under the multiple backgrounds of global response to climate change, upgrading of China's air pollution control, and increasing pressure on energy security due to the rapid increase of China's external dependence on oil and natural gas, China has proposed to implement an energy revolution. Its main purpose is to reduce the growth rate of total fossil energy consumption and gradually increase the proportion of renewable energy. Among them, hydrogen has attracted much attention. Hydrogen energy, as a new energy with zero carbon and high efficiency, has increasingly prominent application value in the world energy transformation. According to the medium and long-term plan for the development of the hydrogen energy industry (2021-2035), China's hydrogen energy industry chain will make great progress, including the steady construction of the hydrogen energy storage and transportation system.       According to the transportation distance of hydrogen, the requirements of hydrogen use and the distribution of users, high-pressure hydrogen can be transported through hydrogen pipes and long tube trailers. For occasions with large transportation volume and long distance, pipeline transportation is a more efficient way. Wofei technology, which has focused on gas pipeline engineering for more than ten years, attaches importance to the technical mode of obtaining hydrogen sources through diverse scenarios, and has carried out project exploration in green hydrogen and other fields, and constantly made solid steps. In terms of the supply of hydrogen energy, the company has the advantages of high safety, high efficiency and high reliability. It can provide high-standard hydrogen storage and transportation systems. On the premise of ensuring safety, it ensures quality, quantity and supply. It is committed to building an industrial system for hydrogen energy preparation, purification, storage and transportation, and hydrogen energy supply, and to building an integrated hydrogen pipeline engineering system of "hydrogen storage, hydrogen transportation and hydrogenation".       During the implementation of the whole hydrogen pipeline system project, especially during the installation of key process systems and core precision equipment, Wofei technology has always maintained control over safety, quality, progress and cost, and continuously paid attention to pipeline connection, pipeline installation, pipeline spacing, pipeline welding, pipeline lightning protection, anti-corrosion, anti-static, pipeline venting and other safety issues, It plays an important role in the success of the project.     It can be predicted that with the development of hydrogen energy, the demand for hydrogen pipeline system is expected to increase significantly in the next few decades. According to the blue book on infrastructure development of China's hydrogen energy industry, by 2030, China's hydrogen pipeline will reach 3000 kilometers. Wofei technology pays high attention to this, makes layout in advance, and captures business opportunities. It will continue to give full play to its accumulated experience in the hydrogen energy industry, consolidate and improve its research strength and scientific research level in the field of pipeline transportation in the hydrogen energy and other new energy fields, and offer wisdom and suggestions for promoting China's energy transformation and green and low-carbon development.

In the process of designing a laboratory, gas pipelines are usually involved. General laboratory gas mainly consists of non combustible gas (nitrogen, carbon dioxide), inert gas, combustible gas, highly toxic gas and combustion supporting gas. Therefore, in the process of designing the laboratory, it is necessary to consider the installation of the gas circuit, design and select appropriate clean gas pipes and gas valves according to the site environment and the requirements of different gases, and meet the needs of the laboratory for gas safety, purity and cleanliness. However, with the rapid development of the industry, due to the lack of unified technical requirements on key contents and key standards of laboratory gas transmission and other equipment systems, problems such as a wide variety of equipment and facilities, and the mismatch between the performance of special modules and equipment pipeline valves have gradually become prominent. There is a temporary lack of unified and accurate guidance on scheme design, technology implementation, test evaluation and actual deployment, which has a great impact on later use and maintenance. As a high-tech enterprise engaged in gas application system engineering, Wofei technology has long provided a full range of laboratory gas pipeline gas supply systems, providing one-stop complete services from overall planning, professional design, material selection, professional installation, system delivery, technical consultation, etc., to meet the gas use requirements and safety of different experiments. Advanced equipment and hardware, pragmatic design, installation and maintenance teams, and rich project experience make the company highly trusted and recognized by partners in semiconductor, integrated circuit, flat panel display, optoelectronics, new materials, new energy, optical fiber, fine chemicals, biomedicine, various laboratories and other industries.   The gas pipeline system in the laboratory adopts the centralized gas supply equipment of the busbar. It has the functions of manual, semi-automatic and full-automatic switching for double bottles (multi bottles). It is equipped with a low-pressure alarm device to monitor the gas pressure in real time, monitor the concentration, alarm and exhaust air, so as to ensure the normal gas demand of customers and the safety of life and property. Moreover, through the gas supply control system, the gas in the cylinder can be fully used, the residual gas can be reduced, and the gas consumption cost can be reduced. In addition, Wofei technology cooperates with the construction party to design the scheme according to the laboratory environment. As we all know, the gas supply of pipelines and pipelines is intricate and complex. In order to avoid mistakes and leaks, the company's designers marked the intersection and control valve of each gas path on the drawings. Through field investigation, they carried out comprehensive and systematic investigation and analysis to provide detailed and reliable data for the gas path design. At the same time, in the construction of the gas station, the management mode of gas cylinder room is used to improve the safety of the gas station. Stainless steel control panel is used for gas source control, and stainless steel series valves, connectors and other products are used for pipeline connection in the transmission process. In the future, Wofei technology will continue to promote the large-scale development of the laboratory gas circuit industry based on its own technology and practical experience, cooperate with ecological partners, provide technical support for the implementation of the gas transportation system in various industries, and help the healthy development of industrial safety.

  Single stage and double stage gas pressure regulating valve When using gas product cylinders, there are many useful devices to ensure that the process is as safe as possible. If you are trying to reduce the cylinder pressure to the appropriate working level of special instruments and operating equipment, the pressure reducing and regulating valve is the safest way. There are two types of regulators used for such tasks - single-stage and double stage. Wofei technology will explain the details of single-stage and two-stage gas regulators for you.   Single stage voltage regulator All pressure regulating valves are designed to more safely reduce the cylinder pressure and deliver it to the use level of operating equipment and instruments. When a single-stage gas regulator is in use, you can reduce the cylinder pressure to the delivery and outlet pressure in one step. This type of regulator tends to change slightly with the change of delivery pressure as the cylinder pressure decreases during use. Because of this special detail, if a constant outlet pressure is not required, it is better to use a single-stage regulator. If you have someone else to monitor and readjust the pressure, or on equipment that allows stable inlet pressure, you can also use one.     Two stage regulator The two-stage regulator is designed to combine two regulators into one. The first stage can reduce the inlet pressure to an intermediate setting and is not adjustable. However, the second stage is adjustable and reduces the intermediate pressure to the final delivery pressure. One of the main advantages of using a two-stage regulator is that it can maintain a stable delivery pressure, thus avoiding the need for regular adjustment. This is possible because there is only a small change in the inlet pressure in the second stage. If you need gas supply, analytical instruments and other equipment that need to continuously deliver pressure, you will need a two-stage regulator.   Gas regulator safety Another key information about single-stage and two-stage gas regulators is how to use them safely. Some of these elements are basic, such as ensuring that safety glasses are worn when installing and operating such gas processing equipment. If the regulator is pressurized or running, do not attempt to reposition or remove the regulator. There are concerns about contamination and dangerous mixing, which is why you should assign each regulator to only one gas device. Marking which regulator is used with which gas is one way to ensure this. You should never use a gas regulator as a stop valve. Ensure that the gas flow is always closed at the actual source after use.  

The semiconductor industry is a huge global industry, which continues to grow every year, which means that the demand for high-purity gases will increase accordingly. Having a reliable supply of high-purity gas is essential for semiconductor manufacturing, especially in advanced technologies such as smart phones and autonomous vehicle. The process of producing integrated circuits is very complex, requiring more than 30 different gases at all stages, which makes the range of gases used one of the most widely used in any industry. Gas is an important part of semiconductor manufacturing, because it can produce chemical reactions required to shape the electrical characteristics of semiconductors. Due to its complexity, the gas used at each stage of the manufacturing process needs to be accurate and accurate to correctly configure the semiconductor. With the continuous development of the semiconductor industry, the gases used in the process are also developing. Some of the core gases used include nitrogen, oxygen, argon and hydrogen. We will discuss their roles in the manufacturing process in depth. Nitrogen Due to its availability and inertness, nitrogen is the core gas used in each step of the semiconductor manufacturing process, but its main use is in the purging stage. At this stage, nitrogen is used to flush each channel and pipe network to remove any oxygen in the machines and tools, so as to protect them from other gases that may contaminate the process. In addition, most semiconductor factories are equipped with nitrogen generators on site due to the large use of nitrogen in the whole process. More importantly, with the production of high-tech smartphones and other technologies, it is imperative to keep the cost low while trying to meet the high demand. You can say that nitrogen keeps tools, spaces and pipes away from any potential moisture, chemical contaminants and particles. It is an essential gas, which is used throughout the process from the beginning to the end, which is no wonder why they install generators on site.   Oxygen As you know, oxygen is an oxidant, so it is essential to produce a deposition reaction. It is used to grow silicon oxide layers for various elements in the process, such as diffusion masks. When oxygen is used for semiconductor manufacturing, the gas must be ultra-high purity to prevent any impurity from affecting the production and performance of the device. During the etching process, oxygen is also used to remove any additional material waste generated. It can also be used to make any etching pattern permanent. Finally, oxygen also helps to neutralize reactive gases through oxidation reactions that may change product quality. Therefore, like nitrogen, oxygen also helps to ensure that no pollution occurs.   Argon Argon is mainly used for the deposition and etching process in the ultraviolet lithography laser, and is used to make the smallest pattern on the semiconductor chip. During the manufacturing of the required silicon wafer, argon gas is used to protect the silicon crystal formed on the wafer from any potential reaction with oxygen and nitrogen during the high-temperature growth process. Because argon is also a very inert gas, it is used to provide a non reactive environment for metal sputtering deposition. Sometimes the reactivity of nitrogen is too strong, which will lead to the formation of metal nitrides. In addition, liquid argon is used with tools to clean the smallest and most fragile chips.   Hydrogen The use of hydrogen in semiconductor manufacturing may increase due to higher demand. Especially in the photolithography stage, hydrogen is used to react with chemical tin to produce tin hydride. Tin hydride is required so as not to accumulate on expensive optical elements. It is used for epitaxial deposition of silicon and silicon germanium in the deposition process, and also for surface preparation by annealing process. Hydrogen is used to create a new oxide layer to modify the existing thin film. This process occurs in high-pressure and high-temperature environments, which means that the control of flow rate, temperature and pressure is very important. In addition, hydrogen is also used in the doping stage to help control decomposition, because the gas used in this process is highly toxic. So many that they need to be stored in a device that can prevent leakage. Diborane is also a chemical used in the doping process, but due to thermal instability, it will slowly decompose, so hydrogen is needed to help stabilize it.   Semiconductors in daily life Semiconductors are used in all kinds of daily equipment, such as computers, smartphones, televisions, and also in advanced technologies, such as medical equipment, military systems and many other applications. They are part of our daily life and we don't notice them because they exist in the devices we use every day. Without semiconductors, we will not be able to do many things. With the development of semiconductor technology, they will become more reliable, intelligent and compact. From communication, transportation and entertainment, these are only a small part of what semiconductors have done for us. They will power future technology and innovation, enabling us to do things we have never imagined.
