The electronics industry is developing rapidly and the application demand for ultra-clean and high-purity reagents is high.

Ultra-clean and high-purity reagents are suitable for special chemicals in the production of semiconductors and integrated circuits. They refer to chemical reagents whose main component purity is greater than 99.99%, impurity ion content is less than ppm level, and dust particle size is less than 0.5 microns. Ultra-clean and high-purity reagents are usually high-purity products produced after purification based on conventional chemicals. They are mainly used in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as chip cleaning and etching.

Ultra-clean and high-purity reagents are mainly used in the production of semiconductors, LEDs, solar cells, flat-panel displays, etc. Among them, integrated circuits, as the core of microelectronics technology, have rapid technology changes and have higher requirements for ultra-clean and high-purity reagents. The higher the integration level of integrated circuits, the more stringent the control of high-purity reagent particles. As integrated circuit technology advances and gradually develops towards nanoscale integrated circuits, the application demand for ultra-clean and high-purity reagents will increase.

According to the “2022-2027 Ultra-Clean and High-Purity Reagents Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that with the rapid development of semiconductor, photovoltaic and other industries in recent years, the market demand for ultra-clean and high-purity reagents has continued to rise, driving steady growth in output. In 2020, my country’s output of ultra-clean and high-purity reagents was 1.5 million tons. Analyzing the market demand structure, flat panel displays currently have a higher demand for ultra-clean and high-purity reagents, accounting for 47% of the market, followed by the semiconductor field, accounting for 30%.

Ultra-clean and high-purity reagents belong to both fine chemicals and the electronic information industry. Therefore, they have high requirements for product quality, high added value, and rapid replacement. They are one of the products with great development prospects in the chemical industry. The SEMI international standard is adopted internationally as the impurity content standard for ultra-clean and high-purity reagents. my country’s ultra-clean and high-purity reagent industry has made great progress in quality. The product technical level has reached SEMIG3 level, and some products can even reach G4 and G5 levels.

In terms of market competition, the production technology of G4 and G5 ultra-clean and high-purity reagents has gradually matured internationally, and most companies are able to achieve production. Representative companies include BASF, Honeywell, Ashland, Sumitomo Chemical, Tokyo Onka, Mitsubishi Chemical, etc. Most enterprises in our country have reached international G3 standards and are gradually developing towards G4 and G5 levels. Overall, my country’s ultra-clean and high-purity reagent industry started late, and due to high technical difficulty, the industry has developed slowly. However, driven by strong domestic demand, the future market development potential is huge.

Industrial analysts said that ultra-clean and high-purity reagents are specialized chemicals used in semiconductors and integrated circuits and have high The technical threshold is high, the product added value is high, and the application range is wide. Benefiting from the development of terminal industries, the market demand for ultra-clean and high-purity reagents in my country is showing a growing trend, and the industry has good development prospects. The impurity content of ultra-clean and high-purity reagents is classified around the world. Most of our products can currently meet the G3 standard, and there is still great potential for development in the G4 and G5 grades.
