Linde expands nitrogen, oxygen plant in Oregon
US-based gases firm Linde has expanded the capacity of its plant in Hillsboro, Oregon, to supply ultra-high purity (UHP) gaseous nitrogen and oxygen to semiconductor manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest.
The new Linde capacity is required to satisfy the growing needs of semiconductor manufacturers in the greater Portland, Oregon, area, which Linde said it has served since the early 1990s.
The use of UHP nitrogen and oxygen in the manufacturing process is essential to ensure products meet tight design specifications.
Pat Murphy, president of Linde North America, said: "We are truly proud of our ability to serve the growing needs of our customers with this new UHP nitrogen and oxygen plant. The expansion of the Hillsborofacility represents Linde's commitment to focus on key global customers and be a valued supplier to them no matter where they expand.
“As technologies advance, the purity of the gases that touch the surface of the wafer becomes even more critical and the latest Linde generation of high-purity Spectra(R) plants is at the industry forefront of the supply of UHP nitrogen and oxygen,” he added.
