Solvay has announced its new high purity semiconductor grade Phosphoric Acid plant in Bernburg, Germany, is supplying this high added value etching acid to manufacturers of electronic devices and components and the semiconductor industries. This new high purity acid complements Solvay’s product portfolio of high purity wet chemicals for the electronics and semiconductor industries such as hydrogen fluoride and peroxides. The plant uses a novel and very precise crystallization technology developed by Solvay and its Dutch technology partner TNO.
“This new Phosphoric Acid plant complements a number of investments and capacity expansions carried out by the Electronic Wet Chemicals Division over the past two years, especially in China and the US, in other high purity products such as Hydrogen Peroxide, Hydrofluoric Acid and Ammonium Fluoride. With Phosphoric Acid we are adding a new critical material to our product range whilst relying on our analytical, logistics and customer support capabilities to improve our offering to our semiconductor customers,” said Steve Dobson, Head of Solvay’s Electronic Wet Chemicals Division.
