The semiconductor and microelectronics industries require clean, controlled environments for successful manufacturing and packaging. Avantor offers a wide range of products, equipment, and consumable supplies to help you meet cleanroom standards.
Semiconductor and Microelectronics
Cleanrooms are critical to the semiconductor and microelectronics industries. Contamination is a major source of manufacturing issues and product failure, so these applications require strict environmental control to help ensure precision and avoid contamination. Avantor® carries the products and equipment you need to control static, eliminate particulate matter, reduce outgassing and control other contaminants. Choose from thousands of high-quality products from brands you know and trust.

What are semiconductors
Semiconductors conduct electricity at a level between a conductor and an insulator. They are typically made from pure elements, such as germanium or silicon. Semiconductors are also called integrated circuits (IC) or microchips. When small amounts of impurities are added to pure elements, it causes changes in conductivity. This process is called doping.
What are semiconductors used for?
Semiconductors are used for electronic devices with applications in a wide range of industries, including:
- Communications
- Healthcare
- Computing
- Transportation
- Military systems
- Clean energy
Semiconductors are integral to many electronic devices we use every day, such as:
- Smartphones
- Televisions
- Radios
- Computers
- Advanced medical diagnostic equipment
What are microelectronics?
Microelectronics are very small electrical components that use minimal electric power. They are made using semiconductor materials such as germanium and silicon. These tiny electronic designs and components are often micrometer size in scale. In many cases, microelectronics are the small equivalents of normal size electronic components, such as:
- Diodes
- Capacitors
- Inductors
- Resistors
- Transistors
This subfield of electronics requires expensive, specialized equipment to produce. Microelectronics technology is used in smartphones, computers and LCD displays.
