Fujifilm Signs MOU with Tata Electronics to Build Semiconductor Materials Ecosystem in India (Fujifilm)

TOKYO, May 7, 2025 - FUJIFILM Corporation today announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Tata Electronics Private Limited (Tata Electronics), a leading electronics manufacturing company, for partnership to establish semiconductor material production and supply chain in India. Fujifilm will contribute to the formation of a semiconductor materials ecosystem in India by developing and providing semiconductor materials that meet the needs of Tata Electronics, which is currently constructing India's first semiconductor front-end manufacturing plant and a large-scale semiconductor back-end manufacturing plant.

While demand for semiconductors is increasing with the acceleration of global digitization, India currently relies on imports for the majority of its semiconductor needs. The Indian government is prioritizing domestic semiconductor production as a critical economic and strategic initiative.

Tata Electronics is constructing a semiconductor front-end manufacturing plant in Dholera, Gujarat, and a semiconductor back-end manufacturing plant in Jagiroad, Assam, India. Fujifilm will leverage its strengths in a wide range of semiconductor materials, from front-end to back-end processes, to accelerate the development and supply of semiconductor materials tailored to the needs of Tata Electronics' extensive semiconductor manufacturing processes, thereby supporting the launch of its semiconductor manufacturing operations. Going forward, Fujifilm will consider establishing a semiconductor materials manufacturing facility in India and procuring raw materials locally, aiming to capture the demand of the rapidly growing semiconductor-related market in India. This will further accelerate the growth of Fujifilm's semiconductor materials business while contributing to the development of a robust semiconductor materials ecosystem in India.

Fujifilm is a global supplier of photoresists^*1, photolithography-related materials^*2, CMP slurries^*3, post-CMP cleaners^*4, thin-film chemicals^*5, polyimides^*6, high-purity process chemicals^*7, and other process materials for semiconductor manufacturing from front-end to back-end processes. Fujifilm is also expanding globally with products such as WAVE CONTROL MOSAIC^™*8, which includes color filter materials for image sensors.
Fujifilm will continue to contribute to the development of the semiconductor industry by providing one-stop solutions to solve customers' issues through our broad product lineup that covers almost all areas of the semiconductor manufacturing process, from cutting-edge to legacy nodes, as well as by leveraging its global stable supply system with manufacturing bases in major countries in Japan, the United States, Europe and Asia and its advanced research and development capabilities.
