Shin-Etsu provides high quality pellicles, protective dust covers of photomasks for ArF and KrF excimer laser lithography in production processes of semiconductor devices. Furthermore, we succeeded in commercialization of super-large-size pellicles for LCD panels.

Silicon-based anode materials are attracting attention in the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries aimed at higher capacity and higher power. We has paved the way for the commercialization of SiO anode materials, using technology developed in-house. We are also currently engaged in the development of new silicon-based anode materials.

Shin-Etsu Chemical is an early pioneer in achieving lead-free garnet crystals used in Faraday rotators for optical isolators, and developed products compliant with the EU RoHS directive. In addition, we have established an integrated production system covering everything from manufacturing the garnet crystals to assembling the isolators, supplying high-quality optical isolators suited to high-speed communications demanded by generative-AI data centers and other applications.
