High Tech  [ Return towards  Innovation  ]

Our researchers and engineers have developed a unique expertise in gases under exceptional conditions: very high pressure, very low temperatures and very high purity. It has enabled them to develop innovative solutions, which drive knowledge and technologies forward.

More efficient chips

To manufacturer increasingly efficient electronic components, the semiconductor industry must constantly make the materials that compose them evolve.

The Air Liquide R&D teams are developing patented molecules called advanced precursors. Respecting our customers’ quality standards, and especially very high purity, they make the chips of tomorrow ever more efficient.
