An irreplaceable part of life today, semiconductors are approaching gigabyte capacity in response to ever-increasing customer needs. Use of the higher-density VLSI in particular is becoming widespread. The manufacture of powerful semiconductors, however, requires precision at the submicron level. Daito Chemix photosensitive resin technology makes this precision possible. Applied to a silicon wafer, these resins react to projected patterns of light to etch electricity-conducting grooves in the wafer. Thus the continued advancement of semiconductors depends on the continued advancement of photosensitive materials. Photosensitive materials for semiconductors were first developed from materials used to make printing plates. Daito Chemix photosensitive materials are used in the production of the PS plate, known for its fine printing. PS plate manufacturing technology supports the rich color and realistic detail of magazines and other photographic publications.

Color photo film is made up of layers of chemicals that react to light, and Daito Chemix materials are used to form these layers. Our technology also produces sharper images in instant photographs: chemicals for instant photography use advanced technology that Daito Chemix developed through joint research with manufacturers. Photographic chemical technology is also used in photocopiers. Daito Chemix thermal transfer technology is at work in the popular Print Club photo stickers and in digital printing. As we learn more about temperature and light, our photographic technologies will continue to evolve.

Daito Chemix produces chemical compounds that are then blended to become pharmaceuticals. We also develop the processes used to manufacture these compounds. Pharmaceutical compounds are absorbed by the body at rates determined by the shape of the compound crystal. Controlling this shape during the manufacturing process is very difficult, yet this control is vital to producing effective compounds. For this reason, the development of a new compound also requires the development of a suitable production process. Thanks to the company expertise in both areas, Daito Chemix products are used by pharmaceutical manufacturers to produce safe, effective new medicines.
