Applications of Hydrogen in the Electronics Industry

Hydrogen plays a vital role in the electronics industry, where its applications span various processes, including semiconductor manufacturing, electronic materials protection, and reducing agents in production. Hydrogen in electronics ensures the high purity of materials, which is critical for the reliability and performance of electronic components. This article explores the key applications of hydrogen in the electronics sector and the strict quality requirements for its use.

1. Applications and Functions of Hydrogen

(1) As a Protective Gas

In the production of electronic materials, semiconductor components, integrated circuits, and vacuum devices, hydrogen is widely used as a protective gas to prevent oxidation and contamination during processing.

(2) As a Reducing Gas

Hydrogen serves as a reducing agent in semiconductor manufacturing, where it helps to produce pure, high-performance materials by reducing metal oxides.

(3) In ICP-MS Analysis

In semiconductor industries, ICP-MS uses hydrogen as a reaction gas to remove interferences, enabling the detection of trace contaminants.

2. Hydrogen Quality Requirements

(1) Purity Requirements

Hydrogen purity must be 99.999% or higher in the electronics industry to prevent contamination of sensitive components.

(2) Moisture Content

Hydrogen used in electronics must have very low moisture content, typically below a few ppm.

(3) Oil Content

Oil content must also be minimal, as it can lead to contamination of electronic components.

(4) Other Impurities

Other impurities such as oxygen or carbon dioxide must also be within strict limits.
