TOMOEGAWA CORPORATION continues to rise as Nikon adopts 'iCas MCT' for semiconductor exposure equipment

Mon May 18, 2026 3:24 pm JST Catalyst

TOMOEGAWA CORPORATION <3878> extended its gains. Around 3 p.m., the company announced that its proprietary breathable heater component, "iCas MCT," was adopted for NIKON CORPORATION <7731>'s semiconductor lithography equipment, sparking investor buying.

"iCas MCT" is a heating component utilizing a porous, paper-like stainless steel fiber sheet as its heating element. Its breathable design allows air to pass perpendicularly through the heating surface, enabling efficient heating. This delivers high thermal responsiveness and heating performance while minimizing heat capacity, contributing to component downscaling and weight reduction to enhance equipment performance. TOMOEGAWA noted that this marks the first commercial adoption of "iCas MCT" in semiconductor lithography equipment.
