Semiconductors
Used in smartphones, computers, automobiles, and IoT devices, semiconductors are integral to modern digital technologies.
Semiconductor manufacturing is different from other industries in that it requires the use of gases with specific compositions and purities, tailored to meet the unique requirements of each process.
As semiconductor manufacturing continues to expand in response to evolving digital technologies, the processes involved are likewise becoming increasingly complex.
Advanced Detection of a Wide Range of Gases
Safety management in semiconductor manufacturing requires detecting various gases, including toxic and combustible gases. Riken Keiki offers a wide range of products that are suitable for TLV (Threshold Limit Values) management, protecting the safety of workers while addressing the diversity of gases used in semiconductor manufacturing.
Diverse Gas Detection Solutions for the Semiconductor Industry
We provide gas detection systems that cover a wide variety of gases, such as:
・Suction-type Gas Detectors - More than 260 types of gas sensors are available, including semiconductor material gas sensors, hydrogen sensors, and interference-resistant sensors. The unit structure ensures excellent maintenance capabilities. (Compatible Products: GD70 Series)
・Portable Gas Leak Detectors - Large pump-equipped gas detectors capable of simultaneously measuring three toxic gases are available, along with devices that can detect up to 50 types of semiconductor material gases with a single unit. These products are ideal for detecting gas leaks in semiconductor factories.
Our solutions are customizable to reduce both initial and maintenance costs by recommending the optimal number of portable gas detectors for the gases used. (Compatible Products: 04 Series, SC-9000, SP-230)
Our Solutions
We don't just provide detectors — we design and manufacture our own sensors in house. This approach ensures that we can promptly respond to the emergence of new gases by conducting sensor sensitivity studies and developing new sensors based on customer requirements.
Currently, we have already developed over 260 types of sensors and continue to advance sensor development to detect new gases in the future.

Environmental Monitoring with High-Sensitivity Sensors
Some of the gases used in semiconductor manufacturing can be hazardous even at extremely low concentrations. Some gases like monosilane are toxic to humans even in trace amounts, and others like phosphine pose a risk of spontaneous ignition, potentially leading to fires.
Therefore, highly precise gas detection is essential for effective gas leak monitoring in semiconductor facilities. RIKEN KEIKI offers detectors capable of identifying specific gases at some of the lowest detection limits in the industry, enabling optimal TLV (Threshold Limit Value) management tailored to each gas.
High Sensitivity for Early Detection
We offer ultra-sensitive toxic gas monitors using a tape detection system. The tape-based detection part provides a visual confirmation of whether the gas has leaked, by changing color.
Our products can detect gases even at extremely low concentrations, allowing for the detection of gases at the ppb level. They can selectively detect trace amounts of toxic gases for early detection without interference from other gases. (Compatible Product: FP-300)
