LG Chem enters semiconductor stripper market, supplying US firm Amkor

LG Chem is strategically expanding its semiconductor business by entering the market for semiconductor strippers. The company announced on the 5th that it will supply its semiconductor strippers to Amkor, a leading global company in outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) services based in the United States.

This entry into the semiconductor stripper market marks a significant step in LG Chem's broader strategy to grow its semiconductor operations. Amkor provides essential semiconductor packaging and testing services to major semiconductor manufacturers worldwide.

Semiconductor strippers are critical process materials used to remove photoresist (PR) and residues from the substrate after semiconductor circuit formation. In advanced, miniaturized circuits, the effectiveness of residue removal directly impacts product yield and reliability. Consequently, stripper technology is considered a key factor in determining overall semiconductor quality.

LG Chem plans to utilize the technological expertise and customer service experience it has accumulated through its display stripper business to compete in the demanding semiconductor market. The company stated that its first semiconductor stripper product has already met the stringent requirements of a global OSAT company.
