DIC Corporation of Tokyo has announced the acquisition of 100 percent of the shares of Quebec-based PCAS Canada Inc. from French based company PCAS S.A., which manufactures and sells polymers used in photoresists for semiconductor photolithography.
PCAS Canada, which has a manufacturing site southeast of Montreal, boasts outstanding production technologies and mass production know-how, the company says, and excels in delivering photoresist materials with the superior purity and low metal content required for use in semiconductor photolithography.
DIC is confident that the combination of these production technologies with its own synthesis technologies, a key strength, will enhance its ability to respond to the needs of the semiconductor industry, which continues to be driven by technological progress, thus further contributing to digital innovation.
PCAS Canada has since been renamed Innovation DIC Chimitroniques Inc. (Innovation DIC Chemitronics Inc.). Looking forward, DIC will work to expedite the company’s development of products for cutting-edge processes, make capital investments to strengthen its supply capabilities, and create a corporate organization suited to the needs of DIC Group customers in both North America and Asia.
