Hydrogen has a very important role in the Electronics Industry. Its wide and successful application in the electronics industry include the following. In manufacture of Circuit, quartz melting, semiconductor production, polysilicon production, epitax wafer production, and production of fiber optics. Hydrogen is widely used material for the deposit of epitaxial films on silicon wafers, that are used for production of semiconductors worldwide. Now coming to the Production of Hydrogen, the majority of Hydrogen is produced by a well known process of steam methane reforming. In this process Hydrogen is typically generated from a hydrocarbon (often a natural gas) and water at very high temperatures using catalytic reactors. Afterwards the Hydrogen is purified using the very effecive and economically viable technique of Pressure Swing Adsorption.

Nitrogen is also very widely in the electronics industry. Nitrogen is used as a blanketing medium in the manufacturing of electronic components such as diodes transistors and electronic circuits. Nitrogen gas gets acquired for industrial purposes by a process of air separation utilizing Pressure Swing Adsorption.
