has expanded its capacity to supply
high-purity ammonia,
which is widely used in
production processes of electronic materials,
by stepping up the production capacity of a plant
owned by its manufacturing subsidiary in Taiwan
from 2,500 tons a year to 3,500 tons a year.
The Showa Denko Group has three bases
to produce high-purity ammonia, which are located in
* Japan (1,500 t/y),
* Taiwan (3,500 t/y) and
* China (2,000 t/y).
As a result of this step-up, the total production capacity
of these three bases has been increased
to 7,000 tons a year*.
High-purity ammonia is a specialty gas used
for forming nitride film in the processes
to produce electronic parts such as
compound semiconductors including LEDs and LCD panels.
SDK has been producing and selling high-purity ammonia
in Taiwan since 2005. SDK sales in Taiwan have been
favorably increasing not only because the market
for LEDs and LCD panels in that region has been expanding,
but also because our efficient production system
and advanced purification, analysis and
quality-control technologies are highly acclaimed
by local customers.
Furthermore, the demand for high-purity ammonia
is expected to increase in ASEAN region in the future.
SDK will surely take these business opportunities
by realizing global supply chain management.
