Closing the Metrology Gap for Semiconductor High-Purity Chemicals
Wednesday, July 29th 2026
Free Online Webinar
Amidst the more visible facilities challenges of water, power, and equipment, high purity chemicals have often played second fiddle in semiconductor manufacturing, while topics like ultrapure water (UPW) have benefited from decades of regulatory focus and industry working groups.
But as chip architecture shrinks to 2nm and below, the industry cannot afford to ignore the growing gap between what fabs need and what suppliers can confidently guarantee when it comes to purity.
In our upcoming webinar, our panel of experts from across the value chain will explore:
- Why “semiconductor-grade” is no longer sufficient
- Where new approaches are improving detection and diagnosis
- Where today’s metrology and qualification methods fall short
This webinar offers an exclusive preview of the discussions set to take place at the From Formulation to Fab Workshop taking place on Day 0 of the UltraFacility Conference 2026 this September.
Register now to join the conversation.
