Article from MIR Databank on the current state of China's photoresist industry. I actually think it's missing some players here like Bokang and I think Nanda and RA Chem aren't the only 2 doing Arf photoresist right now.

Note the domestic industry and penetration rate slides are as of 2024.

You can see for Jingrui, it made breakthrough with Arfi and 14nm+below process. In 2026, it has goal of expanding production capacity to 5000t for KRF & 1000t for ARF

Spectral Characteristics of Gd2O3 Thin-Film Target for 6.7nm EUV Light Source.​

​

Abstract​

The extreme ultraviolet light source has been developed utilizing a Gd2O3 thin-film target, fabricated by the electrochemical deposition onto the ITO glass substrate. This study systematically investigates the influence of both electrochemical and laser parameters on the EUV radiation intensity of the Gd2O3 thin-film target. The experimental results indicate that strong extreme ultraviolet emission and a narrow spectral bandwidth were achieved with the specific deposition conditions. Comparative analysis reveals significant enhancements in the optimized thin-film target relative to a planar pure metal Gd target. Specifically, the width of the EUV spectrum from the thin-film target is narrowed to 3/5, the radiation intensity at 6.7 nm (within a 0.6% bandwidth) increases by a factor of 1.43, and the spectral purity improves by 32.3%. The work has demonstrated that employing the mass-limited Gd2O3 thin-film target can significantly improve EUV radiation characteristics. This approach holds promise for providing a novel concept in the development of next-generation EUV light source targets.
