2026 Honoree Award

AetherCore, Ultra-Clean Gas Filtration for Next-Gen Semiconductor Manufacturing

IDeas Co., Ltd.
  • 2026 Honoree in Construction & Industrial Tech
AetherCore metal gas filter is the world’s first innovative filtration solution employing customizable flake-shaped metal powder technology to solve purity limitations faced by traditional gas filters in semiconductor manufacturing. Conventional filters with uniform powder shapes have fixed pore sizes, limiting filtration efficiency to 99.99999%, over 100x the impurity tolerance level in advanced semiconductor processes, leading to product defects, excessive gas use, and waste generation. Leveraging patented flake-shaped powders, our solution achieves groundbreaking filtration efficiency of 99.9999999%, optimizing internal pore structures to enhance gas flow efficiency by 40% compared to conventional filters. As a spin-off of SK hynix, one of Korea’s top 3 semiconductor manufacturers, IDeas holds multiple patents internationally and domestically, securing technological leadership. Our filter design enables simple replacement every 3 weeks, reducing operational downtime by 10% and labor costs by 20%. Ultimately, AetherCore drives significant economic savings and sustainable operations with unmatched precision and user-centric innovation.
