Nitrogen Trifluoride NF3 Gas

Nitrogen trifluoride, or NF3, is a colorless, odorless gas that has several industrial applications. It is primarily used in the semiconductor industry as a cleaning agent for deposition tools and etching chambers. It is also used in the production of flat panel displays, solar panels, and other electronics. However, NF3 is a potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential, which means it can contribute significantly to climate change if released into the atmosphere. As such, efforts are being made to reduce its use and find alternative, more environmentally-friendly substances for these applications.
