JSR to build first Taiwan photoresist plant to co-develop advanced resists with TSMC — multi-million dollar plant could come online as early as 2028

JSR, a major player in the global photoresist market, is set to construct its first production facility in Taiwan to collaborate with TSMC on advanced photoresists. The plant, expected to be operational by 2028, will enable JSR to work closely with TSMC's development teams, similar to its Japanese competitors. In addition to photoresists, JSR is considering producing other materials at the Taiwan site. The company is also expanding by building a production-scale facility for metal oxide resist in South Korea to supply Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. JSR's focus on co-development relationships at the cutting edge aims to maintain its lead in the market against emerging Chinese competitors.
