IT-RELATED CHEMICALS
The IT-Related Chemicals Sector in Sumitomo Chemical
Co., Ltd. was established in October 2001, the first
year of the 21st century, by integrating IT-related
material operations inside the company, including
those of manufacturing, marketing and R&D, in
order to enhance and facilitate cooperation among
different groups and provide comprehensive solutions
to our customers.
From Singapore, we supply various high-quality materials
and chemical compounds to IT-Related industries,
and our products actively contribute to the recent
revolutionary growth of Information Technology in
this region. Our main products in this sector are
Super Engineering Plastic (Sumikasuper® and
Sumikaexcel®), and also various sputtering targets
and Photoresists (Sumiresist®) for wafer foundries.

Super Engineering Plastics (SEP): SUMIKASUPER®
LCP and SUMIKAEXCEL® PES
(These products are under authority
of Electronics Material Division of Sumitomo Chemical
Co., Ltd.)
Our super engineering plastics are applied
in a variety of electric/electronic devices. Among
them, Liquid Crystalline Polymer (LCP) is showing
a remarkable growth in demand following the increased
use of personal computers and other electronic machines.
Typical applications of our super engineering plastics
are in connectors between substrates, or between
electronic machines and their parts. Sumitomo Chemical
has established LCP supply systems to respond to
increasing demand, satisfying customers’ requirements
in delivery time and quality. |

SUMIKASUPER®
LCP
Sumikasuper® liquid crystalline
polymer (LCP), a super engineering plastic
developed by Sumitomo Chemical, has an outstanding
thin-wall fluidity, a maximum soldering temperature
of 350°C, and long-term heat resistance
at temperatures up to 260°C. Demand for
Sumikasuper has seen steady growth for such
applications as coil bobbins, connectors,
relays, switches and volumes.

SUMIKAEXCEL®
PES
We started the production of Sumikaexcel®
polyether sulfone (PES) at our Ehime Works
in 1994 under a license from Imperial Chemical
Industries plc. PES is known for its well-balanced
physical properties, such as superb water
resistance, dimensional stability and long-term
heat resistance at temperatures of 180 to
200°C. This product will be used increasingly
in various electronic components, automotive
parts and aerospace assemblies.

Semiconductor Process Materials: SUMIRESIST®
Photoresists and Sputtering Targets
(These products are under authority
of Semiconductor Process Materials Division of Sumitomo
Chemical Co., Ltd) |
|
 |
|
The technological progress in semiconductors,
which has supported the world IT revolution, never
stops. Sumitomo Chemical manufactures and supplies
photoresists and sputtering targets — both
essential materials for semiconductor production
processes — by utilising our long-cultivated
basic technologies in organic chemical synthesis,
polymer synthesis and high purification.
Our parent company, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.
is operating globally by integrating manufacturing,
marketing and R&D, particularly in Japan and
Korea (two world-leading centres of semiconductor
manufacturing) with continued efforts to create
next generation products and the early commercialisation
of new products. |

SUMIRESIST®
Photoresists
Drawing on the broad expertise we have accumulated
over many years as a diversified chemical
company, we have developed Sumiresist®
photoresists. Along with the advancement of
microchip technology, the critical resolution
of photoresists is being controlled with increased
precision – from half a micron down
to far below a quarter micron. In anticipation
of ever-growing and diversifying customer
needs, we are redoubling our development efforts
for more advanced i-line photoresists, as
well as for a newer generation of photoresists,
including those for excimer laser lithography.

Sputtering
Targets
We use our proprietary crystal control
technology to manufacture aluminum alloy targets
and titanium targets of superior quality and
reliability. The targets are then supplied
to our customers worldwide as raw materials
for electrodes and electric wiring for integrated
circuits.
Our purification technology can be traced
back to aluminum purification operations
many years ago. This technology, together
with our proprietary crystal control technology,
has created aluminum sputtering targets
of superior quality and reliability. We
are the world’s one and only integrated
manufacturers of these chemicals from the
starting material to finished product. |
