The plant will deliver molybdenum to main semiconductor clients
Air Liquide has successfully began up a new plant in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.
This molybdenum production plant, the largest in the world, will deliver leading semiconductor clients with its leap forward advanced materials provide Subleem.
The offer consists of a portfolio of ultra-high purity molybdenum molecules and first-of-its-type proprietary distribution structures.
With this strategic funding, Air Liquide confirms its technological leadership through being the primary to supply molybdenum solutions to its clients in huge volumes.
Subleem offer has been evolved and qualified in close collaboration with semiconductor chips producers. This providing includes a complete portfolio of extremely-high purity solid molecules and first-of-its-type proprietary distribution systems, assisting the semiconductor industry’s major upcoming shift towards molybdenum.
Arising as a promising substitute for the traditional chip production material tungsten, the molybdenum “revolution” permits the next generations of advanced memory and logic chips driven by AI applications.
This new give strengthens Air Liquide’s leadership role in advanced materials for the semiconductor industry.
In addition to this new high-volume production plant in South Korea, recently providing Subleem to two early adopters of molybdenum, Air Liquide already has a manufacturing unit in work since 2023 in Japan and will open another production plant in the US by the end of 2025 to assist upcoming wave of demand.
Armelle Levieux, member of Air Liquide’s Executive Committee, extensively supervising Electronics sports, said: “At Air Liquide, we’re dedicated to attend our clients in semiconductor production to undertake the challenges of this fast-developing industry. Our method presence in main semiconductor hubs, mixed with our specific innovation know-how, lets in us to rapidly grow and bring to the marketplace leap forward technological solutions important for next-generation chips. This approach enables Air Liquide to maintain its management role in advanced materials for the semiconductor industry.”
