Business Areas
Category | Main Business | |
|---|---|---|
Photoresists & Packaging Materials | A photoresist is a light-sensitive material and an essential component used in the photolithography process to form ultra-fine circuits on wafers. Leveraging its cutting-edge R&D capabilities, SK materials performance develops and produces materials essential for semiconductor manufacturing, such as photoresists, BARC (Bottom Anti-Reflective Coating), and SOC (Spin-On Carbon: a carbon-based hard mask material). The company develops and supplies a variety of materials used in semiconductor back-end processes (Advanced Packaging), such as liquid encapsulants and thermal interface materials (TIM), and is expanding its business into the Wet Chem sector (including PMA and EUV Rinse) to become a leading specialist in advanced organic materials. [Key Achievements] Mass production adoption of EUV PR materials for next-generation devices |  |
Precursors | Precursors are used in the deposition process, which involves building up a thin film of the desired material layer by layer on a wafer through chemical reactions. As the importance of deposition processes has grown due to the recent trend toward semiconductor miniaturization and the expansion of stacked structures, demand for precursors has been steadily increasing. SK trichem produces a variety of precursors used in semiconductors, including High-k, Low-k, and Metal precursors. In particular, the company boasts the world’s largest production capacity for organometallic precursors (CpHf) containing hafnium and is strengthening its quality control capabilities based on its expertise in facility operations and state-of-the-art analytical equipment. Leveraging its R&D capabilities, the company has secured numerous patents and is enhancing its capacity to develop new materials through R&D collaborations with customers as well as academic and industrial institutions. [Key Achievements] Adoption of TEB (triethyl borate) and TEPO (triethyl phosphate) for mass production |  |
Etching Gases | Etching gas is a gas used in the process of removing unwanted parts during the formation of semiconductor circuits, and it is an essential material for precision semiconductor manufacturing. SK resonac has achieved the localization of etching gas and strengthened Korea’s self-reliance in semiconductor materials. Based on its synthesis process, the company is the only one in Korea to operate production facilities for CH₃F (monofluoromethane) and HBr (hydrogen bromide), enabling it to reliably supply high-purity etching gases. Furthermore, leveraging its accumulated technology and capabilities, the company is committed to developing and producing etching gases that meet the diverse needs of its customers. [Key Achievements] Commencement of mass production of HBr (hydrogen bromide) |  |
Blue Dopants | Blue dopant is one of the three primary color-producing elements (blue, green, and red) in OLED emissive layer materials and is an essential material for emitting blue light. Because blue light has a short wavelength and a short lifetime, developing and synthesizing it presents the greatest challenge compared to other emissive layer materials when it comes to achieving both high image quality and long lifespan. SK materials jnc, a subsidiary of SK ecoplant, is a joint venture established by combining JNC’s IP competitiveness—based on its extensive R&D database—with the SK Group’s capabilities in business development, production, quality, and marketing. The company develops and supplies blue dopant, a core material for OLEDs. Furthermore, by leveraging proprietary technology based on boron-related patents, it is strategically collaborating with global corporations and universities in South Korea, the United States, Japan, and China on materials for various OLED layers. Through these partnerships, SK materials jnc aims to provide integrated solutions to customers and lead technological advancements in the OLED materials market. [Key Achievements] Expanding market share in the global blue dopant market; pioneering a new market for green dopants. |  |
