Against the backdrop of the semiconductor market's acceleration amid the AI boom, TOTO is pursuing new market opportunities by applying its back-end process technologies. The company has explained that its hollowing technology, developed for toilet manufacturing, is also extending to its semiconductor business.
The semiconductor market is growing rapidly amid the AI boom and TOTO is being highlighted as one of the companies attracting global attention. The article focuses on how the company is applying its technological capabilities in semiconductor back-end processes.
TOTO's greatest strength is described as its lightweighting technology, developed through hollowing and slip casting. The ability to reduce component weight by hollowing out the internal structure of toilets is said to be applicable to the semiconductor business as well.
Specifically, the article introduces a process in which liquid raw materials are poured into a mold, water is removed from the outer surface, and the material is solidified into a clay-like form to create a hollow space. This technology for reducing the weight of ceramic components is said to be used in semiconductor back-end processes.
