Advancements in Ultrapure Hydrogen Generation for Semiconductor Manufacturing

The CHIPS & Science Act, along with evolving domestic content regulations for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure subsidies, continues to drive significant investment in semiconductor fabrication facilities across the United States. As these fabs expand, their demand for ultrapure hydrogen gas remains critical for applications such as carrier gas and wafer annealing. The hydrogen supply landscape for semiconductor manufacturing is evolving. From traditional delivery methods to on-site generation, the industry is witnessing a shift towards more sustainable and efficient solutions. Among these, the commercial viability of ultrapure hydrogen generation through modern PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) water electrolysis is gaining traction.

Key Benefits of On-Site PEM Hydrogen Generation:

• Minimal Hydrogen Inventory: Enables flexible site planning and reduced storage needs.
• Sustainable Production: Achieves zero carbon emissions when powered by renewable energy sources.
• Reliable Supply: Provides a consistent and high-purity hydrogen supply with minimal staffing requirements.
• High Purity and Pressure: Ensures that the hydrogen meets stringent semiconductor manufacturing standards.
• Scalability: Easily adapts to the varying demands of semiconductor operations.

This presentation will explore the latest advancements in on-site PEM hydrogen generation technology and its implications for the semiconductor industry. Attendees of the live event will receive a Professional Development Seminar Certificate of Completion issued by Nel Hydrogen.
