Why Semiconductors Need Oil-Free Compressed Gas

The main reason why semiconductors require oil-free compressed gas is that any grease can contaminate the chip, which in turn affects the performance and reliability of the product. In the semiconductor chip manufacturing process, it is necessary to use oil-free compressed air to ensure the cleanliness of the production environment and avoid damage to the chip caused by pollutants such as oil. Therefore, it is essential to provide a steady stream of clean, oil-free compressed air for the semiconductor industry [1].

In addition, in semiconductor production, compressed air is used in large quantities, for example, in the process of embedding (squeezing) solder into microscopic holes in a circuit board, and if the compressed air is contaminated with oil, it may cause damage to expensive semiconductor components. Therefore, its production process requires highly professional technology and harsh and clean environment, using 0-grade oil-free compressed air, which is not only a high purity guarantee for closed production environment, but also promotes productivity improvement and reduces production losses caused by pollution [4].
