What is Nitrogen Trifluoride NF3?

Nitrogen trifluoride is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula NF₃.

This nitrogen-fluorine compound is a colorless, toxic, odorless, non-flammable gas.

It is increasingly used as a chemical etcher in microelectronics.

The lifetime of nitrogen trifluoride NF3 in the atmosphere is very long, from 550 to 740 years.

The use of nitrogen trifluoride NF3 increases by 10 to 11% per year because it is used to replace the PFCs called into question by the Kyoto protocol.

Nitrogen trifluoride NF3 is used in the manufacture of computers, solar panels, flat screen televisions, touch screens, electronic processors.
