Product description

Ultra-trace Analytics provides ultra-trace analytical services for liquid chemicals, including semiconductor chemicals, high-purity acids / alkalis, electronic-grade solvents, UPW, cleaning solutions, etch chemistries, plating baths, and process liquids. Methods such as GC-MS, ICP-MS, DMA-CPC, and IC are evaluated based on sample type and analytical objective for metal, organic, ionic, and particle contamination.

Liquid chemical ultra-trace analysis

Combining GC-MS, ICP-MS, DMA-CPC, and IC, we help trace the origin of micro-contamination in semiconductor chemicals. Ultra-trace Analytics evaluates the right technique for the matrix and analytical goal — across semiconductor chemicals, high-purity acids and bases, electronic-grade solvents, UPW, cleaning solutions, etchants, plating baths, and process liquids — and supports detection and interpretation of trace metals, organic contaminants, ionic contaminants, particle / nano-particle indicators, and other process-contamination signals.

Contamination problems in semiconductor liquid chemicals rarely have a single-instrument answer

A single anomaly may come from different contamination types

Process defects, residues, abnormal background, turbidity changes, or batch-to-batch differences can stem from metals, organics, ions, particles, or interactions between several contamination sources. The right analytical technique depends on the question.

Contaminants in high-purity chemicals sit at extremely low concentrations

Semiconductor chemicals often need contamination signals tracked at ppb, ppt, or even lower levels. Blank control, container cleanliness, sample preparation, and the matrix all directly affect the credibility of the result.

Different matrices create different analytical interferences

Acids, bases, solvents, UPW, cleaning solutions, etchants, plating baths, and formulated liquids differ widely in matrix and can change instrument choice, sample-prep conditions, detection limits, and how a report should be read.

The COA alone often cannot explain a process anomaly

Supplier COAs usually cover a fixed list of specifications, but process anomalies can arise from off-spec contaminants, unknown organic peaks, ionic residues, particle shifts, or contamination introduced by containers and piping.

A problem-led ultra-trace analysis service for liquid chemicals

Multi-technique evaluation

We evaluate GC-MS, ICP-MS / ICP-MS/MS, DMA-CPC, and IC against your sample and problem type — not limited to a single instrument.

Built for semiconductor chemicals

Applicable to high-purity acids and bases, electronic-grade solvents, UPW, cleaning solutions, etchants, plating baths, process additives, and other semiconductor liquid chemicals.

Contamination-type categorization

On request we evaluate metal contamination, organic contamination, ionic contamination, particle / nano-particle indicators, and batch-to-batch differences.

Low-background contamination mindset

We pay close attention to the effect of sample containers, blanks, reagents, sample preparation, operating environment, and method limitations on the result.

Anomaly investigation and comparative analysis

We can support good sample / bad sample, batch-to-batch, supplier-to-supplier, before/after-process, and reference-sample comparisons.

Reports and technical discussion

Depending on the scope, we can provide result interpretation, likely contamination pathways, method limitations, and follow-up analytical recommendations.

FAQ

What samples can the liquid-chemical ultra-trace analysis handle?

The service covers semiconductor chemicals and high-cleanliness liquids — high-purity acids and bases, electronic-grade solvents, UPW, cleaning solutions, etchants, plating baths, process additives, and other liquid samples. Actual feasibility depends on SDS, matrix, safety, and analytical goal.

Which analytical techniques does this service use?

We evaluate GC-MS, ICP-MS / ICP-MS/MS, DMA-CPC, and IC. GC-MS typically targets organic contamination, ICP-MS targets metals, IC targets ionic contamination, and DMA-CPC can evaluate particle / nano-particle indicators depending on the method.

Why do semiconductor chemicals need ultra-trace analysis?

Semiconductor processes are sensitive to metal, organic, ionic, and particle contamination. Even if main-component specs pass, trace contamination or batch differences can still affect process stability, defect rate, cleaning efficacy, or material qualification outcomes.

Can the service reach ppt or ppb-level analysis?

Depending on matrix, target contaminants, sample preparation, blank control, instrument conditions, and method feasibility, ppb, ppt, or lower levels can be evaluated for some items. Actual achievable level is confirmed against the sample and test results.

What if we do not know whether the contaminant is metal, organic, or ionic?

Share the sample background, the anomaly observed, where it occurs in the process, the SDS, and whether good sample / bad sample comparisons are available. Ultra-trace Analytics can then help evaluate a suitable technique combination.

How do GC-MS, ICP-MS, DMA-CPC, and IC differ?

GC-MS is mainly used for organic contamination and unknown-organic-peak analysis; ICP-MS for metals and elemental impurities; IC for ionic contamination; DMA-CPC can evaluate particle / nano-particle indicators depending on the method. The actual choice depends on the sample and question.

Can you compare batches or chemicals from different suppliers?

Yes — batch or supplier comparisons can be discussed based on the scope. We recommend submitting multiple batches, a reference sample, good sample / bad sample, or before/after samples so we can compare differences and anomaly signals.

What information should we share before submitting samples?

Please share sample name, SDS, main composition, analytical goal, target contaminants, expected concentration range, sample quantity, safety information, whether comparison samples are available, and report requirements. If the sample is corrosive, volatile, flammable, toxic, or reactive, please flag this in advance.
