In semiconductor manufacturing, even the smallest impurity can damage wafers, halt production, and result in millions of dollars in losses.
As fabrication facilities (fabs) race to develop smaller, faster, and more powerful chips, ensuring the use of ultra-high purity (UHP) gases during production is more critical than ever. However, traditional methods such as gas chromatography and spectroscopy are struggling to meet today’s requirements for speed, accuracy, and parts-per-trillion (ppt) sensitivity.
Join Thermo Fisher Scientific and Dan Merriman, Senior Advisor – Process Analyzers, for an introduction to the Thermo Scientific™ APIX δQ and APIX Quattro mass spectrometers. These next-generation systems combine Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Mass Spectrometry (API-MS) with advanced calibration and intelligent software to deliver exceptional performance in gas analysis.
In this session, you'll see how leading fabs are redefining their quality control workflows, safeguarding every wafer and confidently meeting the industry’s most demanding purity standards.
Here’s what you’ll take away from this webinar:
- Why ultra-high purity gas analysis is essential to yield: Understand how even trace impurities can lead to wafer scrap, unplanned downtime, and lost revenue, as well as why achieving parts-per-trillion (ppt) sensitivity is key to protecting your production line.
- The advantages of APIX δQ and APIX Quattro mass spectrometers: Discover how Thermo Scientific’s APIX analyzers deliver ultra-fast, two-minute cycle times, ppt-level detection, and multi-gas analysis, consolidating multiple tools into one powerful, integrated solution.
- How to confidently transition to API-MS: Get practical insights into implementing APIX systems in your facility, including how to streamline setup and calibration with built-in gas processors.
- How APIX technology supports the future of semiconductor QC: Learn how API-MS enables automation, real-time monitoring, and alignment with emerging quality standards, helping fabs stay ahead in an increasingly demanding industry.
