Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
The company possesses advanced technology for manufacturing special gases for semiconductor and display processes. Key products include rare gases such as Xenon (Xe), Krypton (Kr), Neon (Ne), and Argon (Ar). It produces a wide range of high-purity special gases, including Excimer Laser Mix, Methane (CH4), Ammonia (NH3), Helium (He), Arsine (AsH3), and Phosphine (PH3). The product portfolio also encompasses Deuterium (D2), Germane (GeH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and Hydrogen (H2). Notably, D2, a new material special gas for improving semiconductor heat dissipation, is now under mass production. The development and mass production preparation for Phosphorus Trifluoride (PF3), which enhances etching gas linearity, are also underway. Its high-purity N2O synthesis and purification technology enable supply for food and medical applications. The company operates an automated manufacturing system for various custom-ordered mixed gases.Thecompanypossessesadvancedtechnologyformanufacturingspecialgasesforsemiconductoranddisplayprocesses.KeyproductsincluderaregasessuchasXenon(Xe),Krypton(Kr),Neon(Ne),andArgon(Ar).Itproducesawiderangeofhigh-purityspecialgases,includingExcimerLaserMix,Methane(CH4),Ammonia(NH3),Helium(He),Arsine(AsH3),andPhosphine(PH3).TheproductportfolioalsoencompassesDeuterium(D2),Germane(GeH4),NitrousOxide(N2O),CarbonDioxide(CO2),andHydrogen(H2).Notably,D2,anewmaterialspecialgasforimprovingsemiconductorheatdissipation,isnowundermassproduction.ThedevelopmentandmassproductionpreparationforPhosphorusTrifluoride(PF3),whichenhancesetchinggaslinearity,arealsounderway.Itshigh-purityN2Osynthesisandpurificationtechnologyenablesupplyforfoodandmedicalapplications.Thecompanyoperatesanautomatedmanufacturingsystemforvariouscustom-orderedmixedgases.
Core AdvantagesCoreAdvantages
Securing global raw material sourcing capabilities for rare gases like Xenon and Krypton ensures a stable supply chain. Superior purification and mixing technologies enable the export of various high-purity special gases to domestic and international semiconductor companies. The company successfully localized the production of Xenon (Xe) and Krypton (Kr) special gases, which were previously 100% imported. Business operations have expanded beyond semiconductors and displays to include construction materials, aerospace, food and beverage, and medical sectors. A strategic equity investment from Solbrain strengthens rare gas supply chain stability and creates synergy in OLED deuterium material business. Operating two production plants in Jincheon, including a newly established second plant, enhances production capacity, particularly for new material special gases like D2 and PF3. A stringent quality control system, managed by advanced analyzers and professional analysts, is consistently maintained. Customer-centric technology development and proactive investment position the company as a leading innovator in the domestic materials industry.SecuringglobalrawmaterialsourcingcapabilitiesforraregaseslikeXenonandKryptonensuresastablesupplychain.Superiorpurificationandmixingtechnologiesenabletheexportofvarioushigh-purityspecialgasestodomesticandinternationalsemiconductorcompanies.ThecompanysuccessfullylocalizedtheproductionofXenon(Xe)andKrypton(Kr)specialgases,whichwerepreviously100%imported.Businessoperationshaveexpandedbeyondsemiconductorsanddisplaystoincludeconstructionmaterials,aerospace,foodandbeverage,andmedicalsectors.AstrategicequityinvestmentfromSolbrainstrengthensraregassupplychainstabilityandcreatessynergyinOLEDdeuteriummaterialbusiness.OperatingtwoproductionplantsinJincheon,includinganewlyestablishedsecondplant,enhancesproductioncapacity,particularlyfornewmaterialspecialgaseslikeD2andPF3.Astringentqualitycontrolsystem,managedbyadvancedanalyzersandprofessionalanalysts,isconsistentlymaintained.Customer-centrictechnologydevelopmentandproactiveinvestmentpositionthecompanyasaleadinginnovatorinthedomesticmaterialsindustry.
