Japan Turns Photoresist into ‘Little Steel Balls’: Is China’s Chip Industry Facing a Stranglehold or a Counterattack?

Japan Turns Photoresist into 'Little Steel Balls': Is China's Chip Industry Facing a Stranglehold or a Counterattack?

First, a fun fact: Making chips is like baking a cake, where the photolithography machine is the oven and the photoresist is the baking paper. Without the paper, the cake will burn at the bottom. Currently, 90% of the world’s high-end “baking paper” is printed in Japanese, and the finest types are measured in individual … Read more

Formulation of Semiconductor Photoresist Stripping Solution

Formulation of Semiconductor Photoresist Stripping Solution

Photoresist, also known as photoresist, is a non-conductive photosensitive material that transfers patterns from a photomask onto a wafer based on the principle of changing properties when exposed to light. After development, the unexposed photoresist needs to be washed away with a stripping solution to expose the substrate for subsequent etching. Currently, most stripping solutions … Read more
