Qnity Electronics is DuPont's former Electronics business — semiconductor technologies and interconnect solutions, including CMP slurries, specialty cleaning chemistries, photoresists and laminates for advanced packaging — serving semiconductor makers and their supply chains. It raised $4.1 billion of secured and unsecured notes plus a $2.35 billion term loan and paid DuPont a cash distribution of about $4.1 billion.
Stated rationaleDuPont said in May 2024 that a stand-alone electronics company would be a pure play on semiconductor and AI-driven demand while the remaining DuPont concentrated on healthcare and water-focused industrial businesses.
