• OVERVIEW

    Photoresists are light-sensitive materials used in several industrial processes, such as photolithography and photoengraving to form a patterned coating on a surface. Photoresists are either positive tone or negative tone and most pervasively used in the manufacture of integrated circuits and flat panel displays.

    Materials for the integrated circuit industry can be used for a wide variety of lithographic processes covering a wide range of exposure tools and processes. Applications range from sub-micron geometries to thick film applications. All materials are spin coated and can be matched to a large variety of substrates.

    Materials for the flat panel display industry can also be used for a wide variety of processes. Applications extend beyond the 5th generation spin coating, into advanced slit-coating processes. Materials are also available for roller coating and extrusion coating.
