Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is an inorganic, colorless, non-flammabe but toxic gas with musty odor. It is a particularly strong greenhouse gas. It is slightly soluble in water when not undergoing any reaction. It is employed majorly in removing silicon and silicon compounds during the production of semiconductor devices like microelectronics, thin film solar cells, LCD displays and others. It is also used in hydrogen fluoride and deuterium fluoride chemical lasers. CVD chambers cleaning and solar cell plasma etching is carried out by using NF3
Increasing demand for consumer electronics is prime factor driving the market. Semiconductors are intrinsic component of modern electronics used by various end use sectors like transportation, healthcare, communication, defense, computing and others. additionally, increasing adoption of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), Flat panel displays, and Internet of Things (IoT) shall in turn increase demand for nitrogen trifluoride further significantly boosting to the market.
However, there are certain environmental concerns regarding the use of NF3 as it has 17200 times greater GWP than of CO2 and atmospheric lifetime of 740 years. This is expected to act as limiting factor for market growth.
