Hynix Semiconductor has expanded bulk gas supply contracts with Air
Liquide Electronics at its new 300mm fab located in Cheongju, South
Korea and its joint venture 300mm fab in Wuxi, China.
“These increases in capacity are in line with our strategy to expand
our 300 mm output and to maximize our production efficiency,” said M
.C. Kim, Vice President and Chief Procurement Officer of Hynix
Semiconductor. “Air Liquide is a long time partner which has already
supported our projects throughout the world. Its reliability and
efficiency have stood the test of time and we are delighted to
collaborate with them again on this project.”
The
Hynix-Numonyx NAND flash 300mm facility in Wuxi will see Air Liquide
China install two Ultra High Purity Nitrogen (HPN) generators and
expand the oxygen, argon, hydrogen, helium and compressed dry air
supplies due to increasing demand from the fab, according to Air
Liquide. The expansion cost is put at approximately €35 million.
The Hynix fab in Cheongju will see Air Liquide install bulk specialty gas dispensing systems.
