Hoosung, etching gas C3H2F6 production discontinued
Published2023.09.12 10:35Hoosung temporarily suspends production of etching gas for NAND due to semiconductor slump.
On the 8th, Hoosung announced through a public notice that it would discontinue production of C3H2F6, a semiconductor etching gas. The sales of the discontinued items amounted to approximately 40.8 billion won, which is 6.68% of the company's sales of 610.6 billion won.
The reason for the production halt is the suspension of production plant operations and regular maintenance due to reductions and inventory adjustments by forward semiconductor customers.
Hoosung plans to review resuming production in the future depending on inventory depletion and increased customer demand.

“Long-term stability of supply equipment is key for molybdenum deposition”… Merck addresses next-generation processes with CHEMKEEPER®
During a webinar jointly conducted by SEMI and Merck, Dr. Benjamin Garrett of Merck presented on "Game Changers in Deposition Processes: Molybdenum Next-Generation Process Materials and Advanced Supply Systems," arguing that molybdenum dioxydichloride precursor (MoO₂Cl₂) and the CHEMKEEPER® supply system will become "game changers" in deposition processes. As molybdenum (Mo) gains attention as a next-generation material in semiconductor deposition processes, the importance of precursor purity and delivery systems for stable supply in production environments is increasing.
