DuPont, YMT Collaborate to Enhance Riston Dry Film Photoresist Distribution and Service in Korea
September 5, 2023 | DuPontEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
DuPont Interconnect Solutions (DuPont) announced that it entered into a strategic collaboration relationship with YMT, a Korean printed circuit board (PCB) materials manufacturer listed on the KOSDAQ exchange. This collaboration combines DuPont’s circuit imaging material expertise and YMT’s local network, which can best address the local customer needs with faster response, better service, and a total solution. Under this collaboration, YMT has invested in establishing a dry film slitting facility in Ansan, Korea, and expects facility operation in October.
“YMT is one of the leading companies in the global chemical material industry with strong technology development capability. We are pleased to work with YMT to advance the electronic industry and build a more connected value chain to serve our customers in Korea,” said Yuan Yuan Zhou, Global Business Director, Metallization & Imaging, DuPont. Adding the local Riston® dry film photoresist slitting capability will largely accelerate Riston® product delivery and flexibility, heightening Korea’s local customer reach and better service. “We believe the win-win strategy will reinforce our circuit imaging market in Korea while YMT will expand its current product offerings by adding Riston® dry films,” said Zhou.
”We are excited by growing our relationship with DuPont. By aligning more fully with DuPont, we can leverage our strength in technical service and logistics to meet the varied needs of our customers as the industry continues to grow. We are confident that our collaboration will create long-term value for our customers,” said Peter Baek, Chief of Business Officer, Vice President, YMT.
DuPont and YMT will jointly showcase the Riston® dry film photoresist technology at YMT booth #E401 in the upcoming KPCA on Sept. 6-8, at Songdo Convensia, Incheon, Korea. At the show, DuPont and YMT will present a broad Riston® circuit imaging materials designed for fine-line applications and advanced PCB technology for high-end segments such as Integrated Circuit (IC) substrate, High-Density Interconnect (HDI) and Semi-Additive Process (SAP) to drive high-integration, high-performance, and miniaturization process development.
Exhibited Product List:
- Riston® DI1600 & DI1700 dry film photoresist, the advanced fine line direct imaging photoresist solution for IC substrate application
- Riston® SD2000 dry film photoresist, super fine line stepper photoresist solution for IC substrate and advanced packaging application
- Riston® TH2000 dry film photoresist, the advanced dry film photoresist solution for fine line HDI and FPC application
- Riston® WBR3000 dry film photoresist, the advanced solution for tall copper pillar process in the advanced packaging application

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
