Photoresist & Photoresist Ancillaries Companies

Photoresists are light-sensitive materials used to pattern and etch substrates for the production of integrated circuits and electronic devices in the semiconductor and microelectronics industries. When exposed to light, they experience a chemical shift that enables the precise patterning of the underlying substrate. Ancillaries for photoresists are additives and chemicals that are used with photoresists to enhance the lithographic process. In the phases of cleaning, pre-coating, development, stripping, and post-processing, they are essential. This industry, which is fueled by improvements in semiconductor technology and the need for improved process yields, is strongly related to the demand for photoresists.
