ASDevices and NIMTT Establish Joint Laboratory for Advanced Ultra-Trace Analytical Technology
ASDevices is pleased to announce the official establishment of the Joint Laboratory for Integrated Circuit Ultra-Trace Analytical Technology in partnership with the Chemical Research Institute of the National Institute of Measurement and Testing Technology of China (NIMTT). This strategic collaboration marks a significant advancement in precision analytical capabilities for critical industries driving the future of technology and clean energy.
Advancing Ultra-Trace Analysis for Strategic Industries
The joint laboratory is dedicated to developing and standardizing ultra-trace impurity analysis techniques for semiconductors and hydrogen energy sectors. Operating at the cutting edge of analytical precision, the laboratory targets ppb (parts per billion) and ppt (parts per trillion) level detection, establishing new benchmarks for quality assurance in these demanding applications.
The scope of work encompasses four key pillars: development of advanced analytical methodologies, design of comprehensive calibration systems, creation of certified reference materials, and practical industrial implementation strategies. This holistic approach ensures that innovations developed in the laboratory translate directly into real-world industrial value.
A Powerful Synergy of Expertise
The partnership brings together complementary strengths that create unique capabilities in the field. NIMTT contributes its prestigious national authority in metrology, testing protocols, and standards development, backed by decades of experience in establishing measurement traceability and reliability. ASDevices brings proven expertise in trace gas analysis, ultra-high-purity gas quality evaluation, and field-oriented engineering solutions that bridge the gap between laboratory precision and industrial application.
This combination enables the laboratory to develop analytical capabilities that are not only scientifically rigorous but also traceable, reliable, and ready for deployment in demanding industrial environments.
Supporting Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Transition
As semiconductor manufacturing pushes toward smaller geometries and higher performance, and as the hydrogen economy scales globally, the need for ultra-precise impurity analysis becomes increasingly critical. Even trace-level contaminants can significantly impact device performance, production yields, and system reliability.
The joint laboratory addresses this challenge by providing the technical foundations necessary for quality control, process optimization, and regulatory compliance in these advanced sectors. By establishing standardized, traceable analytical methods, the laboratory will support manufacturers in achieving the exceptional purity levels required for next-generation technologies.
Looking Forward
This partnership represents ASDevices’ ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of analytical technology and supporting the industries that will define our technological future. Through this collaboration with NIMTT, we are building infrastructure that will serve advanced manufacturing and clean energy sectors for years to come.
We are excited about the innovations and breakthroughs that will emerge from this joint laboratory and look forward to sharing our progress as we work together to establish new standards of excellence in ultra-trace analytical technology.
