High Purity Silicon Carbide Components
- A full line of high-purity re-crystallized & CVD-Coated SiC furnace components for Vertical, Horizontal and Single Wafer processes, it is preferred worldwide by furnace manufacturers and wafer fabs whose processes demand the use of high-purity precision components.
- With less than ppb purity levels and a melting point of > 1400(deg), CVD-Coated SiC is the material of choice for high-temperature and LP-CVD processes. CVD-Coated SiC is virtually impervious to acid etc, resulting in consistent and repeatable performance time after time.
- Those materials are available in 150mm - 300mm for all major horizontal and vertical systems.

Photosensitive Dielectric Materials for advanced packaging [AL-Polymer Series]
- AL-Polymer (Asahi Low-k Polymer) is a spin-on dielectric for advanced packaging.
- AL-Polymer is the only dielectric that has good electrical and mechanical properties as well as good process-ability.
- This new photosensitive-dielectric makes use of one of AGC's core technologies - fluorine chemistry - and will be extremely useful in the development and manufacture of increasingly fast, miniaturized semiconductor circuits, as it achieves well-balanced performance, including low-temperature curing (180-250 degrees C), a very low dielectric constant (k=2.6-2.7), and high flexibility (elongation =20%), in addition to having a high resolution, planarization, and low absorbency.

CMP Slurry
- By taking advantage of the ability to handle the full production cycle, i.e. from raw material grinding to slurry, AGC offers a slurry and polishing solution-that accommodates customer’s design policies and CMP processes.
- By utilizing technologies fostered thus far for grind drawing and for chemical reaction control, AGC optimizes slurries for oxide layers, wiring layers, and other layers. Consequently, all slurries offer excellent surface planarity, a high removal rate, and minimal scratching.

Optical Filter for PDP
- An optical function filter, developed using AGC's original core fluorochemical and surface processing technologies that offers composite functions including color and brightness correction, electromagnet shielding, near infrared ray shielding, and low reflection.
- Fluorochemical, one of AGC's core technologies have been applied to anti-reflection films, which make up optical function filters and which are attached to both sides of semi-tempered glass.

Glass Powders & Glass Pastes
- By taking advantage of its expertise in glass composition design and research analysis, AGC expands the application of highly functional materials in various markets such as electricity, communication equipment, automotive, display and new generation energy. Amid diversifying societal needs, AGC has established a system that enables the company to meet various customer needs in all stages including product planning, product design, manufacturing, and quality enhancement.
- AGC is proactively developing lead-free glass powders and glass pastes to contribute to the environment.
Backlight Tube for LCD
- CCFLs (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps), which are used mainly as light sources for backlights to achieve the desired level of quality, have been developed utilizing superior technologies in melting and forming processes.
- AGC's backlight glass bulbs are environmentally friendly, with absolutely no arsenic, antimony, or other harmful substances included. Given the recent increased interest in environmental matters, they have been highly appraised.
