Riedel-de Haën, an AlliedSignal subsidiary, is to invest DM10m ($5.8m) in the production of electronic chemicals.
The company, based in Sealze, Germany, will use newly developed purification technology to produce ultra-high purity ammonia, ammonium fluoride, hydrofluoric acid and buffered oxide etchants.
