 Air Products has agreed to sell its ‘OptiYield’ Positive Photoresist developer business to FUJIFILM Electronic Materials for an undisclosed sum. FUJIFILM said it would work closely with Air Products and customers to transfer supply and support functions from the Air Products' facility in Tempe, Arizona to Fujifilm's manufacturing and research operations in Mesa, Arizona. They expect the transfer to be completed in first quarter of 2008.
"In certain applications, the OptiYield(TM) chemistry may provide significant performance and productivity gains compared to conventional developer chemistries," said Dr. Brian E. O'Donnelly, Business Director, Formulated Products & Thin Film Systems, FUJIFILM Electronic Materials. "This acquisition is a complementary addition to our ancillaries product portfolio and will reinforce Fujifilm's ability to serve our global customers and the semiconductor industry by offering a wider variety of products and solutions."
