Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that uses photosensitive resin (photoresist) to manage and operate processes from coating on substrates to exposure and development.
Description
Photosensitive plate manufacturing workers apply photosensitive resin used in printed circuit boards and semiconductor manufacturing to substrates and perform a series of processes including drying, exposure, and development. The work is primarily conducted in a cleanroom, involving adjustments to film thickness and exposure conditions, chemical management, equipment operation and maintenance, and quality inspections. High precision and safety management are required for fine pattern formation, and data measurement and analysis for process improvement and defect reduction are also performed.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected with the growth of the semiconductor and printed circuit board industries. Amid advancements in smart factories and automation, high-precision quality management and process improvement capabilities will become even more important.
