KIM, Oh Hyun (General Manager, Air Liquide Electronics Korea):
“South Korea is a true tech powerhouse. They’re actually the world’s second largest semiconductor market and the absolute leader in memory chips.”
SON, Wooho (General Manager, Air Liquide Advanced Materials Korea):
“Top Korean semiconductor manufacturers are among the most advanced in the world, and they need a partner who can keep up with their rapid pace.”
KIM, Oh Hyun:
“To stay on top, innovation is more crucial than ever.”
SON, Wooho:
“It is about innovation and our ability to meet the biggest material transition in the semiconductor industry in the last decade. Molybdenum is starting to replace traditional materials in chip manufacturing. At Air Liquide, we were the very first to offer a complete solution, our Subleemâ„¢ offer, of ultra-high purity solid molecules and first-of-its-kind distribution systems.”
LEE, Juho (AMCK Site Leader, Air Liquide Hwaseong):
“The core expertise of our Hwaseong facility lies in providing customers with the highest quality molybdenum precursors. We have highly specialized purification processes to remove all impurities. The way materials are packaged is as important as purity. These specialized canisters are custom-made to meet customer requirements, to ensure perfect integration with their manufacturing systems. Therefore, our expertise lies in both making materials extremely pure and delivering them through high-tech methods.”
SON, Wooho:
“Our new plant in Hwaseong is the largest in the world to produce molybdenum-based precursors. We’ve figured out how to handle the tricky process of turning solid molybdenum precursors into a gas directly at the customers’ fabs through a process called « sublimation ». We’re the first to make it possible for chipmakers to finally leverage molybdenum’s superior properties in their production, which is a game-changer.”
LEE, Juho:
“I’m truly proud that our team at Hwaseong plant has become a key supplier for the leading companies in Korea’s and Asia’s semiconductor industry. The fact that we’re planning to expand our team to keep pace with growing demand proves our success and impact.”
KIM, Oh Hyun:
“Our strong position in South Korea is what allow us to serve our strategic customers with a safe and reliable supply of innovative molecules, through the country but also across Asia. Over the past two years alone, we have built three new plants, demonstrating our strong long term commitment to our customers and to their cutting-edge technologies.”
