Merck Korea showcased its semiconductor and semiconductor material solutions as an integrated materials solution provider at SEMICON Korea 2022.

Merck Korea (CEO Dr. Woo-Kyu Kim), the Korean subsidiary of leading science and technology company Merck, participated in SEMICON Korea 2022 held from February 9 to 11 as a leading supplier and solution provider for the semiconductor and semiconductor materials industry with the theme of integrated material solutions.

Merck offers comprehensive solutions for the entire semiconductor manufacturing process, including the seven major front-end and back-end unit operations that are critical to semiconductor manufacturing, such as doping, patterning, deposition, planarization, etching, and cleaning, as well as final packaging.

Merck is equipped with the capacity to drive further growth and innovation in the semiconductor industry in Korea by combining Intermolecular’s unique expertise, prototyping capabilities for material innovation, and delivery systems that can safely deliver high-quality materials to fabs.

Beyond being a producer of innovative materials, Merck provides sophisticated and smart solutions that are incorporated into most 21st century electronic products. Through its booth and educational lectures at this year’s SEMICON Korea, Merck showcased its global semiconductor materials expertise and knowledge.

Dr. Woo-Kyu Kim, CEO of Merck Korea, said, “Korea is an important hub for innovation and production for Merck. “Through the recent investment of 600 million euros in Korea, Merck Korea will continue to expand its supply chain and develop technologies to pursue not only economic growth but also a win-win partnership strategy with our customers,” he said.

Through this SEMICON Korea online conference, Merck Korea shared its extensive experience and technologies that can be applied at all stages of the semiconductor value chain.

As a company that encompasses not only materials but also material delivery systems, the company displayed a dynamic gas mixer (DGM100) and an overview of semiconductor process materials and delivery systems to introduce how Merck Korea has achieved a leading position in the semiconductor field.

The dynamic gas mixer (DGM100) gas cabinet introduced this time is a supply device for safely using and storing high-risk special gas cylinders used in semiconductor manufacturing processes. It is one of the devices for supplying a certain amount of gas at a certain pressure to a distribution device or manufacturing facility.

Among them, the dynamic gas mixer is a device that mixes and supplies various gases in a ratio of 1% to 10%, and has two built-in gas analyzers to maintain the purity of the mixed gas and supply it.

From external sites (large bulk specialty gas supply) to gas rooms (BSGS, cabinets, bundles, CK), plenums (cabinets, VMB) and process equipment, we have everything you need to supply the materials and gases you need, wherever and whenever you want them.

To meet the complexity and evolving demands of next-generation semiconductors, materials are becoming increasingly important in chip design and manufacturing processes. In this environment, Merck Korea has the industry's broadest portfolio of integrated semiconductor materials solutions that can solve customers' unique problems, accelerate innovation, and improve yields.

Merck also provides the latest information on semiconductors and semiconductor materials through online conferences.

The online conference will be held on the following topics: Smart Manufacturing Forum, Advanced Lithography, Advanced Materials and Process Technology, Plasma Science and Etching Technology, and CMP and Cleaning Technology.
