Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Photoresists for Advanced IC Packaging market size was valued at US$ 293 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 552 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 9.4% during review period.
Photoresists for advanced IC packaging are liquid photosensitive polymer materials used in back-end advanced packaging processes to perform lithographic patterning, plating-mask formation and metal-interconnect definition. They are mainly used in RDL, bumping, Cu pillar, micro-bump, TSV, UBM, WL-CSP, flip-chip, fan-out WLP, 2.5D/3D integration, HBM and chiplet-related packaging structures. The core product categories are liquid positive-tone thick-film photoresists and liquid negative-tone thick-film photoresists, which are applied through spin coating, soft bake, exposure, development, electroplating, etching and stripping steps to form temporary patterns on wafers or reconstructed wafers. Key performance requirements include film-thickness uniformity, exposure and development latitude, pattern resolution, sidewall verticality, plating-bath resistance, adhesion to metal or dielectric surfaces, low residue after stripping and high-volume manufacturing stability. Negative-tone products are typically more suitable for thick plating masks, bumping and high-aspect-ratio structures, with representative suppliers including JSR, Merck KGaA and Aisen Semiconductor Material and representative products including THB-151N, THB-111N and THB-126N. Positive-tone products generally emphasize resolution, pattern profile, stripping performance and plating compatibility, with representative suppliers including TOK and Merck KGaA and representative products including TWC300, TKM7000 and AZ 4620. JSR positions its THB series for metal plating and bumping processes, while TOK describes its bump formation resist as suitable for Cu pillar BGA, TSV memory microbumps and continuous Cu/Ni/SnAg plating, confirming their role in advanced packaging interconnect fabrication.
The market for photoresists for advanced IC packaging is extending from traditional bumping, WL-CSP and flip-chip applications toward higher-density RDL, Cu pillar, micro-bump, TSV, fan-out WLP, 2.5D/3D integration and HBM/chiplet packaging platforms. As advanced packaging evolves from a chip-protection step into a system-level interconnect platform, packaging photoresists are becoming process-critical materials that affect plating quality, interconnect dimensional control, package yield and long-term reliability. Negative-tone thick-film photoresists are well suited to thick plating masks and high-aspect-ratio structures, with JSR’s THB series representing a key product platform. JSR publicly positions THB photoresists for metal plating and bumping processes and highlights plating tolerance, stripping performance, exposure throughput and process margins. Positive-tone thick-film photoresists emphasize pattern profile, resolution and removability in RDL, Cu pillar, micro-bump and WL-CSP applications. TOK’s positive-tone bump formation resist is designed for high-aspect-ratio electroplated electrode formation and supports continuous Cu, Ni and SnAg plating.
The global competitive landscape remains led by Japanese, U.S. and European materials suppliers, with JSR, TOK and Merck KGaA holding strong positions across negative and positive thick-film resists, RDL resists, bump plating resists and plating-compatible lithography materials. Merck KGaA’s AZ platform covers multiple thick-film and patterning materials; the AZ 15nXT series is described as negative-tone cross-linking photoresists for plating, TSV and RIE etch applications, while AZ P4620 has documented use in copper-plating patterning. These product platforms indicate that advanced packaging photoresists are evolving toward thicker films, electroplating compatibility, easier stripping, lower residue and stronger batch consistency. Chinese suppliers are moving from early validation to localized substitution in selected applications. Aisen Semiconductor Material publicly lists positive photoresist, negative photoresist, developer, Cu etchant and stripper for wafer / advanced packaging applications, and its negative photoresist for advanced packaging is described with single-coating film thickness up to 80 μm, high contrast, high resolution, good adhesion and high tolerance.
Industry growth will be driven by high-performance computing, AI accelerators, HBM, chiplet integration, advanced packaging capacity expansion, supply-chain security and semiconductor-material localization policies. The U.S. CHIPS for America National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program identifies domestic advanced packaging capability as a critical element of semiconductor competitiveness, while the European Chips Act aims to reinforce the semiconductor ecosystem, strengthen supply-chain resilience and reduce external dependencies. These policy directions will support investment in advanced packaging capacity, materials validation infrastructure and local supply chains. Technically, shrinking RDL line/space, reduced Cu pillar and micro-bump pitch, denser TSV structures and wider adoption of 2.5D/3D integration will push packaging photoresists toward higher film thickness, higher resolution, broader plating compatibility, lower stripping residue and tighter lot-to-lot consistency. Future competition will therefore shift from single-product substitution toward integrated qualification across positive and negative resist chemistries, developers and strippers, plating processes and customer-specific packaging platforms.
