The use of ultra-pure organic solvents, acids, and alkali in semiconductor sectors and electronic industries has been increasing tremendously for the manufacturing of miscellaneous electronic gadgets, cleaning of silicon wafers, oxidizing agents, light resistors. semiconductor process industries account for the use of high purity (99.99%) grade organic solvents as cleaning and dehydrating agents for the manufacture of liquid crystal display (lcd) panels and integrated electronic circuits. isopropyl alcohol (ipa) and methanol are the most commonly used organic solvents in semiconductor laboratories (scl) for rinsing, cleaning and drying the silicon wafers during quality control evaluation. hydrogen peroxide and tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide are another important chemical used in scl for cleaning silicon wafers, removing photoresists and etching metal ion structures on printed circuit boards (pcb). the purity of all these electronic solvents plays a crucial role in scl. silicon wafer manufacturing process involves several wet chemicals. the presence of any particulate in terms of inorganic metal ion impurities in these solvents can lead to short/open circuiting problems resulting in degradation of device performance. in order to avoid these drawbacks, the use of extremely high-quality electronic chemicals is necessary for the manufacture of high precision semiconductor devices.since the past few decades, electronic grade chemicals are being imported from other countries, for semiconductor applications in india. development of indigenous technology is an indispensable requirement to stop this foreign exchange, and improve economy.the electronic grade of solvents can be achieved by the selection of innovative, cost-efficient ultra-purification technology for purification of technical grade solvents supplied by qualified manufacturers. most of the solvent manufacturing companies rely on energy-intensive processes such as distillation, adsorption and ion exchange for purifying and recycling hazardous waste. hence, there is an urgent requirement to develop cost-efficient technology for the purification of chemicals to semiconductor grade (> 99.99%). csir-iict has come up with design and development of novel cost-effective and efficient membranes to enable ultra-purification of electronic grade chemicals using advanced membrane technologies.
