At Umicore, our quest to develop new electronic chemicals is driven by Moore’s law and our customers' wishes to go beyond. There are many challenges associated with reducing the size of an electronic product while also improving functionality. New chemicals, methods of synthesis and deposition technologies are needed in order to deliver the next-generation of advanced electronics.
We understand the need to provide chemicals that are highly pure and offer better performance, all at a lower cost to the consumer. We provide expertise in many aspects of electronic chemical synthesis. In particular, our synthetic strategies produce highly pure chemicals that can be used across a range of applications. Our knowledge in atomic layer deposition provides a key step for success in the electronics industry.
