Why Bio-Medical and LED Industry Should Leverage Chemical Delivery Systems Designed for Semiconductor Industry

The bio-medical and LED are both industries where the production processes as well as the services they involve present some challenging and complex works. For instance, proper disposal of bio-medical, chemical wastes is necessary to avoid possible contamination that could give ill effect not just to human but to the surrounding as well. The same holds true for LED manufacturing.

With the help of some innovations just like chemical delivery systems designed for the semiconductor industry, such problems can be significantly reduced (if not be totally eliminated). Why should the bio-medical as well as the LED industry leverage chemical delivery systems designed for semiconductors? The answer is pretty simple: the semiconductor industry has been around for quite a long time and has tested and refined these systems long enough for better, effective use not just for the semiconductor industry itself but for the relatively newer industries such as the bio-medical and the LED industries.

What are some chemical delivery systems developed in the semiconductor industry?

Here are some examples of CDS available in the market today:
  • Chemical dispense - includes systems that are designed to meet the most demanding processing requirements used to manufacturer micro-electronic devices and their component; it includes delivery modules engineered to distribute chemicals throughout the Fab with continuous filtered recirculation.
  • Chemical waste collection systems - aside from chemical dispense, there are CDS that are specifically designed for waste collection. Such systems are capable of containing wastes, which is further improved by leak detection systems.
  • Chemical carts - designed for a variety of uses including acid and solvent dispensing and waste collections.Mix/blend systems - designed to give accurate and repeatable blending of high purity chemicals and slurry of a a number of applications.

  • Solid chemical delivery systems - these are innovations that convert liquid or water treatment chemicals into solid state and then convert into liquid state again without ruining the original chemical component. This is used for easy delivery into facilities, saves time and space, as well as lessens
The semiconductor industry, as I have said, has been there for quite a long time. And, along with its steady growth, this industry continuous to develop various systems and innovations – systems that are refined through the years - that are also useful to other industries.
