HQ JP
Fujifilm Holdings Corporation (Tokyo; TSE: 4901; ~¥3.6 trillion revenue) is an aggressively expanding EUV photoresist supplier, targeting approximately 10% of the global EUV resist market through its Electronic Materials division. Fujifilm's EUV resist production facility is at Yoshida-Minami, Shizuoka, Japan. Fujifilm's pivot from consumer photography (film and cameras) to semiconductor chemicals and medical imaging systems is one of the most dramatic industrial transformations in Japanese corporate history — the same company known for photographic film for 90 years is now developing photoresist for 13.5nm EUV lithography. Fujifilm's photochemistry expertise from film manufacturing transferred directly to photoresist development.
