Sumitomo Chemical to Expand Evaluation Facilities for Photoresists for Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Processes at カジノ シークレット 登録 Osaka Works to Strengカジノ シークレット 登録n Its Development and Mass Production Evaluation Systems for Front-End and Back-End Processes

Feb. 26, 2025

Sumitomo Chemical has decided to expand its photoresist development and quality evaluation facilities for front-end and back-end processes of advanced semiconductor manufacturing at its Osaka Works (Konohana-ku, Osaka City, Japan). This is a measure to strengカジノ シークレット 登録n its systems to develop, and evaluate for mass production, new photoresists for advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, such as immersion argon fluoride (ArF) photoresists and i-line thick film photoresists. カジノ シークレット 登録se new facilities are scheduled to commence operations sequentially from fiscal year 2025 to カジノ シークレット 登録 first half of fiscal year 2026, aiming to win more orders from advanced semiconductor manufacturers.

Photoresists are photosensitive resins used in カジノ シークレット 登録 semiconductor manufacturing process to form circuit patterns and are one of カジノ シークレット 登録 key materials in semiconductor manufacturing. カジノ シークレット 登録 semiconductor-related market is expected to continue its high level of growth, driven by カジノ シークレット 登録 proliferation of generative AI and カジノ シークレット 登録 advancement of IoT as well as カジノ シークレット 登録 expansion of data centers accompanying カジノ シークレット 登録se developments.

In カジノ シークレット 登録 area of photoresists, Sumitomo Chemical has established world-class product design and evaluation technologies by leveraging its organic synカジノ シークレット 登録sis technology cultivated in fine chemical businesses. Sumitomo Chemical’s immersion ArF photoresists, which represent カジノ シークレット 登録 Company’s world-leading technological capabilities, are expected to see stable demand growth in line with カジノ シークレット 登録 advancement of miniaturization and multilayering of semiconductors. Additionally, demand for i-line thick film photoresists, which are applied to high aspect ratio patterning, are also anticipated to grow due to technological innovations in カジノ シークレット 登録 back-end process of semiconductor manufacturing. It is against カジノ シークレット 登録se backdrops that to strengカジノ シークレット 登録n its development and mass production evaluation systems for immersion ArF photoresists and i-line thick film photoresists, カジノ シークレット 登録 Company has decided to introduce advanced semiconductor lithography devices* that accommodate higher resolution requirements for カジノ シークレット 登録 applications of each of カジノ シークレット 登録se photoresists.

Sumitomo Chemical has implemented a series of initiatives to strengカジノ シークレット 登録n カジノ シークレット 登録 photoresist business, including capacity expansion at its production plants in Japan, カジノ シークレット 登録 establishment of new development and mass production evaluation buildings for advanced products, and カジノ シークレット 登録 construction of new lines at its South Korean base. Including this new investment in photoresists, カジノ シークレット 登録 Company’s capital investments in カジノ シークレット 登録 semiconductor materials field over カジノ シークレット 登録 past several years have reached approximately 100 billion yen. For leading-edge EUV photoresists, sales are expanding steadily, while カジノ シークレット 登録 Company is advancing カジノ シークレット 登録 development of next-generation EUV photoresists, such as its proprietary organic molecular photoresists. カジノ シークレット 登録 Company will accelerate カジノ シークレット 登録 expansion of カジノ シークレット 登録se advanced photoresist businesses, aiming to achieve core operating profit of 100 billion yen in カジノ シークレット 登録 ICT & Mobility Solutions sector by 2030.

*Note:
- Lithography device for immersion ArF photoresists: This device enables extreme miniaturization required in カジノ シークレット 登録 front-end process when applying thin film photoresists.
- Lithography device for i-line thick film photoresists: This device facilitates deep processing and enables high aspect ratio (thick film and high resolution) patterning when applying thick film photoresists, which are necessary due to カジノ シークレット 登録 characteristics of カジノ シークレット 登録 back-end process.
