Technical challenges for capacitors: Traditional electrolytic capacitors were not able to meet the market trends for low ESR (ESR = Equivalent Series Resistance). Today PEDOT, is widely used in the capacitor industry to manufacture polymer type tantalum and aluminum capacitors to meet these challenges.
Low metal contamination in chip production for the semiconductor industry with ultra-pure materials: As a specialty chemicals leader, Heraeus possesses the expertise to provide high purity as its core competence and is able to remove metal contamination on an atomic scale. Heraeus has the necessary chemical processes and production knowledge, coupled with years of experience from having grown alongside the rising demands of the industry. This allows the operating company to offer customers reliable ultra-pure organic chemicals, such as Photo-Acid Generators (PAGs), polymers and monomers, to suit their needs.
