“Increasing Shift Toward Ultra-High-Purity Formulations”
- One prominent trend in the global electronic grade nitric acid market is the increasing shift toward ultra-high-purity formulations
- This trend is driven by the growing complexity of semiconductor devices, stricter contamination control requirements, and the demand for higher yield and performance in advanced chip manufacturing
- For instance, leading semiconductor fabs are increasingly adopting ultra-high-purity nitric acid grades to meet sub-10nm process standards, prompting chemical suppliers such as BASF and Kanto Chemical to expand their high-purity product lines
- The demand for ultra-pure formulations is also rising across fabs and foundries worldwide as precision and purity become critical in next-gen semiconductor production
- As chip manufacturers continue pushing the limits of miniaturization, this trend is expected to drive significant innovation and investment in purification technologies within the electronic grade nitric acid market
