Marjorie K. Balazs founded Balazs Analytical Laboratory™ in 1975. Balazs Analytical Laboratory soon became known worldwide for work in high purity water, chemicals, thin and thick films, and micro-contamination problem solving.
In 1985, Balazs' pure water specifications were adopted by SEMI and became the semiconductor industry standard. Since then, Balazs Analytical Laboratory has been recognized for maintaining high standards and contributing technology to the semiconductor industry.
In July, 2001, Air Liquide acquired Balazs Analytical Laboratory, combining both companies’ analytical laboratory services to expand its offer to the semiconductor industry. Balazs’ ultra-trace water analysis capability complemented Air Liquide 's existing ultra-trace chemical analysis capability and established a new technological leader.
The new business unit, Balazs Analytical Services, is headquartered in Fremont, CA with additional facilities in Dallas, TX and Corbeil, France.
In 2004, Air Liquide acquired Analytical Service Group in order to strengthen Balazs' know-how on surface, organic and inorganic analyses, testing of packaging materials, thermal analyses of polymers and extensive wafer analyses. Dr. Hugh Gotts, owner of ASG brings over 20 years of microcontamination expertise and is a leading expert on organic and polymer analyses using vibrational spectroscopy such as Raman and FTIR (Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy).
Air Liquide Electronics U.S. LP, part of the Air Liquide Group, maintains a global organization with more than 50 onsite Total Gas and Chemical Management centers complemented by dedicated research and development facilities in the United States, Japan and Europe that are responsible for more than 5,000 active patents.
