Nitrous Oxide

N2O

DESCRIPTION: Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is a colorless, nontoxic, nonflammable gas with a slightly sweet taste and odor, which can be used as an anesthetic agent. Nitrous Oxide is an oxidizing agent under normal conditions. Shipped as a liquefied gas under its own vapor pressure (745 psig @ 70 °F).

APPLICATION: Nitrous Oxide is used in combination with silane for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of silicon nitride layers. Enhancing silane with high-purity Nitrous Oxide is essential to preventing degradation of the combined deposition gases. Nitrous Oxide is also used in rapid thermal processing to grow high quality gate oxides.
