Specifically, this subsector consists of electronics manufacturing facilities with production processes that use plasma-generated fluorine atoms and other reactive fluorine-containing fragments to etch thin films, clean chambers for depositing thin films, clean wafers, or remove residual material. The source category also includes electronics manufacturing facilities with chemical vapor deposition processes or other production processes that use N<sub>2</sub>O, and with processes that use fluorinated GHGs as heat transfer fluids (HTF) to control temperature or clean surfaces.</p>
