Q1: What is the CAS Number for Electronic Grade Ammonium Hydroxide?
A: The CAS Number is 1336-21-6 (for aqueous NH₄OH); product lot-specific certificates of analysis include traceability to raw material suppliers.
Q2: How does its usage differ from technical-grade ammonium hydroxide in semiconductor processes?
A: Electronic grade eliminates >99.9% of ionic and particulate contaminants present in technical grades, preventing gate oxide defects, junction leakage, and yield loss—especially critical below 28 nm nodes.
Q3: Is it compliant with USP/EP pharmaceutical standards or food-contact regulations?
A: No—it is not intended for pharmaceutical or food applications. It meets semiconductor-specific purity standards (SEMI, JEDEC), not USP/EP or FDA 21 CFR requirements.
Q4: Does it cause extractables or leachables when in contact with fluoropolymer piping?
A: When handled in certified FEP/PFA systems at recommended temperatures (<40 °C), extractables are below detection limits per GC-MS and ICP-MS testing per SEMI F63.
