Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe like āu e hoʻohana ai e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā ʻeha a i ʻole nā ​​​​ʻili e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā microchips, ma kahi pae maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe aʻe. Ke hoʻomau nei ka ulu ʻana o ke koi no nā semiconductors i hana ʻia e US a ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā koi maʻemaʻe no nā chips hou loa, i ka makahiki 2027 e hoʻonui mākou i kā mākou waihona huahana isopropyl alcohol (IPA) a hoʻomaka e hana i ka IPA ultra-pure a hiki i ka 99.999% maʻemaʻe ma Baton Rouge. ʻO kā mākou kaulahao lako IPA holoʻokoʻa, mai nā mea maka a hiki i ka synthesis huahana i hoʻopau ʻia, e waiho ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ana i ka hana ʻana o ka IPA maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe a hoʻoikaika i kā mākou kaulahao lako kūloko e kākoʻo i ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana ʻAmelika.
ʻOiai ʻo 99.9% IPA maʻemaʻe he kūpono no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe lima a me nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe hale, pono nā semiconductors hanauna e hiki mai ana i 99.999% IPA maʻemaʻe e pale aku i ka hōʻino ʻana i nā microchips palupalu. Ke hoʻomau nei ka emi ʻana o ka nui o nā chip (i kekahi manawa he liʻiliʻi e like me 2 nanometers, ʻo ia hoʻi he 150,000 o lākou i loko o hoʻokahi hua paʻakai), lilo ka IPA maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe i mea koʻikoʻi. Pono kēia mau kikowaena chip, a i ʻole nā ​​​​kikowaena ʻike, i ʻomi ʻia i loko o nā mea liʻiliʻi i ka IPA ultra-pure e hoʻomaloʻo i ka ʻili wafer, hoʻēmi i nā haumia, a pale i ka hōʻino. Hoʻohana nā mea hana chip kiʻekiʻe i kēia IPA maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe e hōʻemi i nā hemahema i kā lākou mau kaapuni koʻikoʻi.
Mai nā kemika hale a hiki i ka ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe, ua hoʻololi mākou i ka hana ʻana o ka isopropyl alcohol (IPA) ma nā ʻano he nui i ke kenekulia i hala. Ua hoʻomaka mākou i ka hana kalepa o IPA i ka makahiki 1920 a ke lawelawe nei i nā noi semiconductor mai ka makahiki 1992. I ka wā o ka maʻi ahulau coronavirus 2020, ʻo mākou ka mea hana nui loa o ka isopropyl alcohol (IPA) no ka sanitizer lima ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
ʻO ka hana ʻana i ka waiʻona isopropyl (IPA) me ka maʻemaʻe a hiki i ka 99.999% ka hana aʻe i kā mākou ulu ʻana me ka mākeke. Pono ka ʻoihana ʻāpana semiconductor i kahi lako kūloko hilinaʻi o ka waiʻona isopropyl ultra-pure (IPA), a ua kūpaʻa mākou i ka hāʻawi ʻana i kēlā lako. No kēlā hopena, ke hoʻomaikaʻi nei mākou i kā mākou hale hana ʻo Baton Rouge, ka hale hana waiʻona isopropyl nui loa o ka honua1, e hoʻokō i kēia koi e ulu nei ma ka makahiki 2027. ʻO ko mākou ʻike a me ka ʻike loea ma kā mākou hale hana ʻo Baton Rouge e hiki ai iā mākou ke hāʻawi i kahi kaulahao lako o ka waiʻona isopropyl (IPA) i loaʻa mai US i nā mea hana ʻāpana US.
Inā ʻaʻole i ʻōlelo ʻia, ʻo ExxonMobil, ka logo ExxonMobil, ka "X" i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a me nā inoa huahana a lawelawe ʻē aʻe i hoʻohana ʻia ma aneʻi he mau hōʻailona kālepa ia na ExxonMobil. ʻAʻole hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia, hōʻike ʻia, hana hou ʻia a hoʻololi ʻia paha kēia palapala me ka ʻole o ka ʻae mua ʻia mai ExxonMobil.
