Uses & Applications for Xenon by Industry
– Semiconductors
Xenon difluoride is used to etch silicon microprocessors during manufacturing.
– Electronics
It is a key ingredient in neon-based excimer laser gas mixtures used in lasers for precise photolithograph and in annealing of polysilicon films. Additionally, it is key component in the manufacturing of flat panel displays (FDP).
– Automotive & Transportation Equipment
It is used in the manufacturing of halogen and high-intensity discharge automotive headlamps. The lasers that cut metal parts in automotive manufacturing processes use Xenon.
– Aerospace & Aircraft
Xenon is an ideal fuel for electric propulsion systems used in space travel.
