The specialty chemical maker Solvay plans to build an electronics-grade hydrogen peroxide plant near Phoenix to serve the area’s growing semiconductor industry. The facility will upgrade H2O2 to impurity levels as low as 0.01 ppb. It will be the seventh Solvay unit providing the material, which is used in etching and cleaning steps.
