Canon was presented with the Excellent Production Support in Advanced Packaging, a category within the 2024 Excellent Performance Award, for its contribution as a leading supplier to TMSC. Amid advancements in semiconductor devices, there has been a growing demand for advanced packaging in back-end semiconductor manufacturing processes. Canon’s evaluation was based on its contributions to meeting this demand by producing semiconductor lithography equipment that excels at both precision and productivity as well as its efforts to aid TMSC’s production of semiconductors through shorter installation and flexible support. This marks the second time that Canon has received the Excellent Performance Award since 2021.

Encouraged by this award, Canon will continue to improve its semiconductor lithography system technology and support with the aim of contributing to a prosperous society.
