Photoresist Market News

  • December 2022: DuPont launched CYCLOTENE advanced electronics resins, a new photo-imageable dielectric (PID) dry film material that can be used in advanced semiconductor packaging applications. In order to get high functionality, performance, and reliability from these new packaging technologies, which offer higher levels of integration, shorter interconnect paths, and more I/Os, you need reliable dielectric materials with good resolution, low moisture uptake, and superior thermal stability.
  • October 2022: JSR Corporation has acquired the entire equity of JSR Electronic Materials Korea. The Japanese company and Peri Corp., a South Korean chemical material distributor, founded the joint venture in 2014. According to industry sources, the change in equity ratio is to accelerate semiconductor material production and R&D in South Korea.
  • August 2022: JSR Corporation has signed an investment agreement with the Lingang Special Area Government to establish a subsidiary in Shanghai. This is expected to increase the business that JSR Group does in China with regards to semiconductor materials.
