Photoresist stripper market demand is growing strongly, and my country’s high-end supply capacity needs to be improved

Photoresist stripper is one of the key materials that determines the final yield and reliability of semiconductor chip patterning. It is mainly composed of preservatives, reducing agents, corrosion inhibitors, chelating agents, organic solvents, etc. Reducing agents, corrosion inhibitors, preservatives, etc. can effectively inhibit the corrosion of photoresist strippers on the substrate. While removing the glue, they can also inhibit the corrosion of substrates such as metal, silicon, silicon oxide, and passivation layers. .

Photoresist stripper has the characteristics of fast glue removal, long service life, strong glue removal ability, and good removal effect. It is widely used in integrated circuit manufacturing, flat panel display, wafer-level packaging and other fields. According to different product types, photoresist strippers can be divided into two categories: positive photoresist strippers and negative photoresist strippers. Among them, positive photoresist strippers are the mainstream products in the market, with market share in 2021 Close to 70%.

According to the “2022-2026 China Photoresist Stripper Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》 shows that thanks to the strong growth in downstream market demand, the photoresist stripper market continues to expand. In 2021, the global photoresist stripper market will reach US$440 million. It is expected that from 2022 to 2026, the global photoresist stripper market will be The market will maintain a compound annual growth rate of more than 6.0%. Globally, North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific are the main consumer markets for photoresist strippers.

The photoresist stripper industry has high technical, financial, R&D and customer barriers. As the market develops, leading companies rely on advanced technology, after-sales service, excellent performance, rich product categories and other advantages to further improve the entry threshold of the industry. New It is difficult for entrants to compete for market share. Competition in the photoresist stripper market is intensifying. In the international market, photoresist stripper suppliers mainly include Dow Chemical, American Versum, American Entegris, Merck KGaA, Dongjin Semiconductor, etc.

my country’s photoresist stripper manufacturers include Shanghai Xinyang Semiconductor Materials Co., Ltd., Anji Microelectronics Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., etc. In recent years, as the global industry moves eastward, my country has gradually become a major semiconductor manufacturing country, and photolithography The market demand for resist strippers is vast. However, due to the late start of my country’s photoresist stripper industry, foreign companies still occupy the main share of the high-end market. Driven by factors such as domestic substitution and policy support, the localization rate of photoresist strippers is constantly increasing, and there is broad room for industry development in the future.

Industry analysts said that photoresist strippers are widely used in integrated circuit manufacturing, flat panel display, wafer-level packaging and other fields. Market demand continues to rise, and the future development prospects of the industry are good. The photoresist stripper industry has high entry barriers and it is difficult for new companies to expand the market. Foreign companies occupy a major share of the market with their advantages in technology and performance. my country’s high-end photoresist stripper supply capacity is insufficient, and there is broad room for domestic substitution in this field in the future.
