PerFluoroalkyl and Polyfluoro Alkyl Substances (PFAS) are vital to the semiconductor industry due to their unique and unparalleled properties. They are used throughout the entire semiconductor manufacturing supply chain. Although some PFAS pose a risk to health and the environment, they have come under increased scrutiny by regulators and government bodies around the world, unfortunately, in a very politicized way.
