Frequently Asked Questions
The electronics and semiconductor segment are the fastest growing due to its ample requirement to manufacture semiconductors. Helium is the quickest gas in drawing heat away from surfaces because of its great thermal conductivity. Helium is ideal for the minute etchings of semiconductor chips because of its low molecular weight and small molecular composition, which allow it to fit into porous regions of diverse materials.

Semiconductors have applications in almost every sector of the electronics industry. With the recent trend in the transition from IC engine cars to EVs, semiconductors have witnessed a swelling in demand. Helium being one of the prime materials for semiconductor manufacturing, poses an excellent opportunity for growth.
High production cost and low density of the gas are the main restrains for the helium manufacturer. Due to low density of the gas, loss due to vaporization is higher and also higher gas flow has to be maintained for its shielding effect to be effective. This will ultimately increase the cost of manufacturing as well as products that utilize helium as manufacturing materials.
