Kanto Corporation is dedicated to leading the U.S. semiconductor industry
as the most advanced supplier of high purity process chemicals, chemical
handling systems, and related services. Our unmatched product quality is
the result of proven systems and continuous improvement - Kanto has been

States for ten. We have invested over $50 million in a state-of-the-art
manufacturing facility, located in Portland, Oregon, to establish of our
world-class capabilities in the United States.

Kanto is committed to supplying consistently pure material. This is possible
through the selection of suitable raw materials, packaging, qualified purification
and manufacturing processes, and filling processes in advanced production
plants under cleanroom conditions. Kanto uses dedicated systems for each
chemical and grade to prevent any cross contamination and ensure the highest
purity product each time.
We ensure the product quality even beyond our manufacturing process, from
careful selection and testing of materials used for containers to our proprietary
cleaning and filling process. Our post-production logistics prevent contamination.
To further develop our knowledge about how Kanto quality can provide process
benefits to our customers, Stanford University has performed some research
on Kanto's products. A recent paper entitled "Deposition of Aluminum on
Silicon from SC1 Solution" concluded that the control of aluminum contamination
is necessary to obtain thin oxide dielectrics with good thickness control.
Further, the SC1-last cleaning sequences require <10ppt aluminum baths;
Kanto's products exceed this requirement.
Kanto Corporation is committed to the safety of our customers, employees,
and the environment. Included below are Material Safety Data Sheets for
your reference. Please contact us directly if you require additional information
or have questions about our EHS programs.
Kanto can provide ppt chemicals in a variety of containers to meet your
