Revenue model

1. High-Purity Chemical Materials Sales: Manufacture and sale of high-purity chemical materials for semiconductor manufacturing including CVD materials, diffusion materials, and optical fiber materials. TEOS production capacity is among the largest in the Far East with stable supply to semiconductor manufacturers worldwide.
2. Silicon/Glass Wafer Sales: Sale of 2-12 inch silicon wafers, ultra-thin and ultra-thick wafers, CVD/sputtering/deposition functional wafers, and SOI wafers for MEMS devices with nearly 50 years of supply history to major semiconductor manufacturers.
3. MEMS Contract Processing (Foundry) Services: One-stop MEMS foundry services from materials preparation through semiconductor/sensor process technologies to device contract processing including photolithography, etching, deposition, and assembly.
4. Precision Spray Coating Services and Equipment Sales: Contract coating services using ultra-precision spray coaters, plus sale of customized spray coating equipment and related coating materials (AR, AF, AG agents).
5. Non-Stick Coating Services: Application of proprietary Tofmak non-stick coating using original-design coaters to customer-substrates for industrial blades, molds, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment components.
6. PVD Materials and Parts: Sale of vacuum evaporation materials, sputtering targets, high-melting-point material parts (hearth liners, resistance heating boats, filaments, ion gun grid electrodes), film thickness measurement parts, and thin film stripping agents.

Core offering

Yamanaka Hewtech is a research and development-driven manufacturer of high-purity chemical materials, silicon/glass wafers, and PVD consumables used in semiconductor manufacturing (CVD/ALD precursors, diffusion dopants, sputtering targets). It also operates MEMS contract foundry services (photolithography, etching, deposition) and precision/non-stick coating services using proprietary spray and silica-coating technologies, supplying semiconductor device manufacturers, MEMS makers, and equipment makers globally.

Product overview

Yamanaka Hewtech Corporation is a research and development company specializing in high-purity electronic materials and semiconductor manufacturing. The company operates through seven distinct divisions offering a comprehensive portfolio: (1) Si Semiconductor Liquid Materials/Thin Film Electronic Materials including CVD/ALD precursors like TEOS; (2) Metal Materials for wide-gap semiconductors; (3) MEMS Division providing contract microfabrication services (photolithography, etching, deposition); (4) Precision Spray Coating Division with ultra-precision spray coating equipment and contract services; (5) Non-stick Coating Division (Tofmak) for industrial applications; (6) Silicon/Glass Wafer Sales Division; and (7) PVD Materials & Parts. The company was founded in 1967 and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of JSR Corporation in August 2024.
