 Praxair China has been awarded the contract to supply Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp's (SMIC) with bulk industrial gases at its new 300mm fab in Shanghai, China. SMIC's FAB 8 facility will start production at the 90nm node. Praxair also supplies SMIC's existing fabs in Shanghai and its 300mm wafer fab, Fab 4, in Beijing.
"We are proud to be chosen again by SMIC as its strategic supplier for its new state-of-the-art wafer facility. We have been working with SMIC since its inception in 2000 and are pleased to have been a major supplier during its growth as the preeminent semiconductor manufacturer in China," said Minda Ho, vice president, Praxair China.
Praxair plans to upgrade its existing facility and pipelines in the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park to supply ultra-high-purity nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen and helium to FAB 8. Praxair will also build and operate the purification and gas-monitoring systems located on the site, the company said.
