Report Overview

Photoresist is a photosensitive mixed liquid mainly used to transfer images from a mask onto a silicon chip. KrF resist, also known as KrF photoresist, is a widely used photoresist material in semiconductor manufacturing. KrF resist has photosensitive properties. Under radiation such as ultraviolet light, electron beam, ion beam, etc., its solubility will change, and then the soluble part will be dissolved by the solvent to achieve the transfer of the pattern from the mask to the substrate to be processed. The undissolved portion serves as a protective layer to protect the underlying material from etching in subsequent etching steps. KrF resist is highly sensitive to ultraviolet light at 248 nanometers, allowing for accurate replication of patterns on lithography plates during the lithography process.

The global KrF Resist market size is projected to grow from US$ 808 million in 2024 to US$ 1357 million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% from 2024 to 2030.

With the development of semiconductor processing technology below 350mm, g-line and i-line photoresists can no longer meet such needs, and KrF photoresists suitable for 248nm wavelength light sources have emerged.KrF photoresist is mainly used in 3D NAND stacking architecture. With the increase of stacking layers, the consumption of KrF photoresist will be greatly increased.According to the SEMI report, the semiconductor materials market will grow by 8.6% in 2022, reaching a market size of 69.8 billion US dollars new highs. Since semiconductor materials belong to high-tech barrier industries, most of the high-end products of semiconductor materials are currently concentrated in the United States, Japan, Germany and other countries and regions. From the perspective of demand, China Taiwan, China mainland, South Korea, Japan, and the United States are the largest semiconductor material markets in the world, accounting for more than 80% of the global market.
