A system and method for generating, purifying, and using ultra-pure
ammonia on-site, such as at a semiconductor manufacturing facility. The
system includes an ammonia generation system configured to generate
ammonia including carbon dioxide, water, and other impurities. A
purification system is provided with the generation system in the
manufacturing facility and is linked to the output of the generation
system. The purification system processes the effluent from the ammonia
generation system to remove substantially all of the carbon dioxide,
water, and other impurities to produce an outlet stream of ultra-pure
ammonia. The system further includes a point of use system provided at
the same manufacturing facility to utilize the outlet stream of
ultra-pure ammonia.
