Dinesh Bettadapur named CEO of Irresistible Materials
Bettadapur to drive the commercialization and market adoption of company’s innovative EUV photoresist platform.
Irresistible Materials, Ltd. (IM), a leader in the development of novel resist materials for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, has appointed Dinesh R. Bettadapur as its new chief executive officer (CEO) and board director. With a distinguished career in the semiconductor industry, Bettadapur brings a wealth of business experience and strategic vision from his work at several industry tech leaders. In his new role, Bettadapur will lead IM’s business strategy and commercial engagements to propel IM into its next phase of growth and innovation. Specifically, he will drive the adoption of its innovative EUV photoresist platform, called Multi-Trigger Resist (MTR™), across the industry’s leading integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) and foundries.
IM’s MTR platform has been designed from the ground up specifically for EUV lithography, and addresses the limitations of legacy resist materials. It is up to two times faster than competing resists, which has the potential to result in annual cost-of-ownership (CoO) savings of approximately US$10-15 million per EUV scanner operating in a production fab.
