TOKYO (Reuters) – Osaka Organic Chemical Industry, a Japanese maker of premium chemicals made use of in chip manufacturing, is banking on the materials market for severe ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, a technique for making sophisticated chips.
Little recognized also in its house nation, Osaka Organic has actually taken an important niche in the semiconductor market by providing firms that make photoresists, the light-sensitive chemicals made use of to engrave patterns on wafers.
It currently has a 70% share of the marketplace for the argon fluoride (ArF) monomers made use of in photoresists as well as currently intends to expand in chemicals for EUV withstands – a location coming to be progressively vital as the international semiconductor market is seen increasing in worth in the years to 2030.
“I am confident that we can compete,” Masayuki Ando, Osaka Organic’s head of state, informed Reuters in a meeting, describing the EUV …
