Every Wafer Counts: How ppt-Level Gas Analysis Safeguards Semiconductor Production
In semiconductor manufacturing, even the smallest impurity can destroy wafers, disrupt production, and cost millions. As fabs push to produce smaller, faster, and more powerful chips, the need to ensure that ultra-high purity (UHP) gas is used during production has never been more critical. Traditional techniques like gas chromatography and spectroscopy can’t keep pace with today’s demands for speed, accuracy, and parts-per-trillion (ppt) sensitivity.
Join Thermo Fisher Scientific and Dan Merriman, Senior Advisor - Process Analyzers, as we introduce the APIX δQ and APIX Quattro mass spectrometers. These next-generation solutions combine Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Mass Spectrometry (API-MS) with advanced calibration and software to deliver unmatched performance when assessing gas supplies. In this session, you’ll learn how leading fabs are transforming their quality control workflows, protecting every wafer, and meeting the most stringent industry standards with confidence.
Here are some key learnings you'll take from this webinar:
Why ultra-high purity gas analysis is essential to yield
- Discover how trace impurities can cause wafer scrap, downtime, and revenue loss—and why ppt-level gas analysis is critical to protecting production.
The advantages of APIX δQ and APIX Quattro mass spectrometers
- Learn how Thermo Scientific’s APIX analyzers deliver ultra-fast two-minute cycle times, ppt sensitivity, and multi-gas capability—replacing multiple instruments with one integrated solution.
Steps to confidently transition to API-MS
