Semiconductor Industry Pneumatic Tubing Application Guide
The global semiconductor industry began with the transistor in the 1950s at Bell Labs. Today, it is the core engine powering modern life, from computing and AI to smart manufacturing.
Semiconductor Industry Segmentation and Pneumatic Demand
The semiconductor industry is primarily divided into three major segments:
- Upstream: Focus on High-Purity Gas Distribution and Chemical Handling for critical materials like Silicon Wafers and Photoresist.
- Midstream: Wafer fabrication and Wafer foundry services, such as Taiwan’s leading representative, TSMC.
- Downstream: IC Design, Packaging & Testing, Module Assembly, and End-User Applications.
