News Official statement New plan
  • LG Chem has begun supplying its semiconductor process material, 'stripper,' to a US-based customer for the first time.
  • The stripper is used in semiconductor manufacturing to remove photoresist and residues after circuit formation.
  • This marks LG Chem's initial mass production supply of the material to Amkor, a global semiconductor back-end processing company.

LG Chem has announced its first-ever supply of 'stripper,' a crucial material for semiconductor manufacturing processes, to a U.S. customer. This marks a significant step for the company in the advanced materials sector for semiconductors.

The stripper material is essential for semiconductor fabrication, specifically used to clean the substrate by removing photoresist (PR) and other residues left behind after the circuit formation stage. Its effectiveness directly impacts the quality and yield of the final semiconductor product.

LG Chem confirmed on July 5th that it has commenced mass production and supply of its semiconductor stripper to Amkor Technology. Amkor is a leading global company specializing in outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT), also known as back-end processing. This partnership signifies LG Chem's capability to meet the stringent demands of the global semiconductor supply chain.
