Digital technologies have grown exponentially over the past decade, revolutionizing every industry on the planet and the way the world works and connects. At the basis of these technologies, semiconductors are the building blocks for producing data processors, memories, displays and photovoltaic cells that equip our computers, internet servers, smartphones, etc. Air Liquide's Electronics business line designs and supplies technological solutions based on very high purity gas and advanced materials, which help to produce semiconductors that are ever more performant and energy efficient, thus helping to meet the climate challenge.
Collaboration and inventiveness
Products manufactured by Electronics customers respond to increasingly challenging consumer demands for improved mobility, connectivity, computing power and energy consumption. These technological advances are made possible thanks to the innovative materials and gases used in semiconductors production.
In response, many of the advanced materials developed by Air Liquide have gone on to become industry standards, as a result of the Group’s early engagement with its customers. When new challenges arise, inventive answers are required. Air Liquide materials scientists and engineers turn these design challenges into solutions through innovation.
