PHS Resin for KrF Photoresist Market Summary

PHS resin (Polyhydroxystyrene resin or Poly(4-Vinylphenol)) is a phenolic polymer widely used as a base resin in KrF (Krypton Fluoride) photoresists, which are used in photolithography processes at 248 nm wavelength. The PHS resin provides excellent film-forming properties, thermal stability, and compatibility with photoactive compounds (PAGs). It allows fine pattern resolution, etching resistance, and developer solubility critical for semiconductor manufacturing at deep-UV (DUV) wavelengths.

PHS Resin for KrF Photoresist can be divided into narrow distribution type and broad distribution type. Key indicators of PHS resin include molecular weight distribution (MWD), polydispersity index (PDI) and metal impurities. The demand for narrow distribution PHS resin is increasing because its uniform polymer chain length and tightly controlled molecular weight lead to more consistent dissolution rates, reduced line edge roughness, and higher resolution-critical for advanced KrF lithography nodes where pattern precision directly impacts yield. Additionally, as semiconductor makers push for tighter process windows and higher device performance, the superior film uniformity and reproducibility of narrow distribution types make them more attractive despite higher production costs.

According to the new market research report "Global PHS Resin for KrF Photoresist Market Report 2025-2031", published by QYResearch, the global PHS Resin for KrF Photoresist market size is projected to grow from USD 184 million in 2024 to USD 362 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period.

In 2024, the global top three PHS Resin for KrF Photoresist players account for 46% of market share in terms of revenue. Above figure shows the key players ranked by revenue in PHS Resin for KrF Photoresist.

Market Drivers:

KrF lithography (248 nm) is still the workhorse for 90-250 nm technology nodes. Used in DRAM, NAND, CMOS image sensors, LCD driver ICs, PMICs, and automotive chips, where cost and yield are more important than extreme miniaturization. According to Nippon Soda, production volumes of 3D-NAND flash memory are increasing in line with advancements in communication technologies, while demand for automotive and industrial semiconductors is expected to grow over the medium to long term due to the spread of electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies. These factors drive PHS resin demand effectively.

Restraint:

PHS resin supply is mainly dominated by Japanese suppliers. New entrants face steep qualification barriers (12-18 months or more for fab approval) and customer reluctance to switch.

Opportunity:

New 200 mm and mature-node 300 mm fab investments in China, Southeast Asia and other places are increasing. Foundries like SMIC, Hua Hong, UMC are expanding KrF capability to meet automotive and IoT demand.
