According to the latest research, the global Thick Layer Photoresists market size was valued at USD 377.83 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.53% during the forecast period, reaching USD 584.08 million by 2028.
Thick Layer Photoresists are high molecular weight polymer films that can be selectively exposed to light through a photomask. Thick layer photoresists is a type of photo-resist technology used in the semiconductor industry. A thick layer photoresist is usually applied as a thin-film coating on the top or bottom surface. It provides high-resolution images with patterned features at the micro-level. These materials have low viscosity and therefore do not leave any residue or debris behind during post-processing or developing process making them an ideal choice for high precision optical lithography applications such as laser direct imaging systems required for wafer-level packaging and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).
Growth Drivers
The global semiconductor industry is on the rise, the market demand for chips is further expanded, and the demand for integrated circuits is also on the rise. Thick Layer Photoresists is the core link of the electronic industry chain, which plays an important role in the electronic industry chain and is the key link of the autonomy of the semiconductor industry chain.
Semiconductor industry is the core of electronic information high-tech industry. The rise of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and Internet of Things has also become the main driving force for the development of semiconductor industry. With the vigorous development of the semiconductor industry, there is a strong demand for semiconductor materials. As the key materials in the manufacturing process of semiconductor and other industries, the market demand of Thick Layer Photoresists has maintained a good growth trend.
Thick Layer Photoresists have been widely used in advanced packaging technology. Soldering bumps require a thick photoresist layer and high repetition accuracy, but do not require steep sidewall inclination. Gold bumps and copper wiring require medium-thickness photoresist film, and the accuracy and inclination angle of sidewalls are very high. For vias in photosensitive dielectric materials, it is best to have inclined sidewall inclination to keep good contact with metal pads under the dielectric layer. All of these applications can adopt the close mask full-page exposure method in order to economically carry out mass production.
Common thick film photoresist printing equipment is a special proximity application tool, which can directly project the mask image onto the photoresist layer. It doesn't need an optical plate, and when the film layer is thick, the required field depth is usually larger than that of the projection system. In addition, the proximity printer is more reliable than the complicated step-by-step projection method, and at the same time, exposure of the whole wafer with one mask can also obtain higher yield.
