What are Photoresist and Photoresist Ancillaries?

A photoresist is a light-sensitive material that undergoes a chemical change when exposed to light during the process of photolithography, which is a technique for creating patterns on a substrate, typically a silicon wafer. Depending on the chemistry of the resist, it can either be positive or negative. Photoresist ancillaries include adhesion promoters, edge bead removers, primers, and antireflective coatings, which are used in conjunction with photoresists to improve their performance or facilitate photolithography. Upon exposure to light, photoresist materials undergo a chemical change, and can be dissolved in a developer solution to reveal the patterned substrate. In order to create microelectronic devices, MEMS, or other microstructures, photoresists are used to create patterns on a substrate, while edge bead removers are used to remove excess photoresist from the substrate edges that can interfere with subsequent processing processes.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused a severe problem for the photoresist and photoresist ancillaries industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous aspects. With regards to the imports of major raw materials required for manufacturing, the global crisis has resulted in challenges in obtaining necessary raw materials. Supply chains were impacted due to lockdown measures, with temporary production halts causing project delays and process disruptions. Logistics providers faced challenges in transporting goods, particularly across borders as well as manufacturers faced component shortages. However, the global market has been growing at a stable rate post-pandemic, and major companies have adjusted their production facilities in compliance with government directives to meet product demand.
