JSR Corporation

Leading EUV photoresist maker, now state-backed

JSR is a leading global supplier of photoresists, including advanced EUV resists critical to sub-7nm logic. In a strategically significant move, it was taken private by Japan Investment Corporation (JIC), a government-backed fund, to consolidate and protect Japan's semiconductor materials leadership. JSR's resist supply is essential to TSMC, Samsung and Intel's most advanced nodes.
