intelligent fluids featured in Silicon Semiconductor magazine: Pioneering sustainable cleaning in microelectronics

We’re happy to announce that our cutting-edge, water-based cleaning technology was highlighted in the latest issue of Silicon Semiconductor magazine (Issue 8/2024). In this article, our CEO Christian Römlein addresses the critical need for sustainable alternatives in microelectronics manufacturing, spotlighting our technology’s potential to replace hazardous petroleum-based solvents.

Traditional solvents, such as NMP, are widely used in the industry but pose serious risks to both the environment and worker health. intelligent fluids’ proprietary microemulsion technology offers an eco-friendly, effective alternative for applications like photoresist stripping and metal lift-off, matching the performance of traditional solutions while drastically reducing environmental impact.

Here are some key insights that our CEO talks about in the article:

• Traditional petroleum-based solvents not only pose serious environmental risks but also threaten worker safety. This underscores the urgent need for safer, more sustainable alternatives.
• Water-based cleaning agents are proving to be both effective and sustainable, offering a win-win solution: reduced environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
• From photoresist removal to metal lift-off, real-world applications demonstrate that these green alternatives can meet the rigorous demands of modern microelectronics production.
