Fujifilm to Showcase “One-Stop Solutions” at SEMICON Japan 2025

FUJIFILM Corporation will participate in “SEMICON Japan 2025”, an international exhibition of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and materials, to be held at Tokyo Big Sight, Japan, from December 17 to 19, 2025. Fujifilm introduces its broad portfolio of cutting-edge semiconductor materials as a “one-stop solution,” demonstrating its robust production and support capabilities to contribute to the further advancement of the semiconductor industry. At SEMICON Japan 2025, Fujifilm will showcase a comprehensive lineup of semiconductor materials covering nearly the entire semiconductor manufacturing process, from cutting-edge to legacy nodes. Fujifilm will introduce new products of its world-leading image sensor color filter material WAVE CONTROL MOSAIC™*1, and introduce “ZEMATES™*2,” a new brand of photosensitive insulating film materials for back-end processes that contribute to improving semiconductor package reliability. Furthermore, Fujifilm will deliver a presentation at the SuperTHEATER session titled “Next-Generation Semiconductor Technology (Equipment and Materials)” on the opening day of SEMICON Japan, Wednesday, December 17.  Advanced photoresists*3 EUV, ArF, KrF, PFAS-free*4 resists, nanoimprint*5 resists CMP solutions World-leading CMP slurries*6 including copper interconnect solutions, post-CMP cleaners*7 Image sensor color filter materials WAVE CONTROL MOSAIC™, including the world's first KrF-compatible image sensor color filter material Advanced packaging materials “ZEMATES™” brand polyimides*8 and thermal interface materials (TIM) Co-creation development proposals utilizing “Materials Informatics” and “Generative AI” Fujifilm will also exhibit the microfilter “AstroPore” for filtering liquids such as ultrapure water, various chemicals, and CMP slurry used in semiconductor manufacturing; the pressure measurement film “Prescale” for measuring flatness of wafer bonding surface; and solutions for quantifying pressure information: Pressure Image Analysis System “FUJIFLM Prescale Station*9” and Pressure Image Analysis App “FUJIFLM Prescale Mobile*10”. Fujifilm operates three semiconductor material production sites in Japan (Shizuoka, Oita and Kumamoto). In addition to achieving “local production for local consumption” by manufacturing near its semiconductor device manufacturer customers, the company promotes “local support” by supporting customers in development, production, and quality control from nearby locations. The company strengthened CMP slurry production capacity at its Kumamoto site in January 2025 and completed a new building for advanced semiconductor material development and evaluation at its Shizuoka site in November 2025. Furthermore, construction of a new building to increase post-CMP cleaner production capacity at its Oita site is scheduled for spring 2026. These initiatives strengthen its ability to meet the growing demand for semiconductors supporting the highly information-oriented society, including those for rapidly expanding AI data centers. Fujifilm will continue its technological development and accelerate the provision of one-stop solutions that meet diverse customer needs, thereby contributing to the further advancement of the global semiconductor industry.
