Nitrogen trifluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula (NF
3
). It is a colorless, non-flammable, toxic gas with a slightly musty odor. In contrast with ammonia, it is nonbasic. It finds increasing use within the manufacturing of flat-panel displays, photovoltaics, LEDs and other microelectronics.[6] NF
3
is a greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential (GWP) 17,200 times greater than that of CO
2
when compared over a 100-year period.[7][8][9]
