Inpria raises new funding

What does Inpria do?

Inpria, is a leader in high resolution photoresists. The company extends semiconductor lithography with inorganic photoresists and other thin films for nanoscale patterning. The company’s patented photo condensed molecular oxides provide the customers the chance for directly depositing from solution, intrinsically dense, atomically smooth and directly photopatternable metal oxide films, providing advanced performance with simplified processing.

How much Inpria was funded?

Inpria raised undisclosed amount in undisclosed on March 1, 2016 from Tokyo Ohka Kogyo, Samsung Venture Investment Corporation, Intel Capital and Air Liquide.

Previous funding

• $1.16M:in 2011
• $4.7M in undisclosed series on February 20, 2014 from Intel Capital, Applied Ventures and Samsung Ventures
• $7.3M in undisclosed on June 19, 2014 from Oregon Angel Fund and The R-Group, LLC

What is next for Inpria?

The company had successfully close its most recent financing, which has doubled the total financing for the company to date. It plans to use the funding for completing product development and for scaling up manufacturing for its metal oxide photoresists. This financing highlight the expanding industry support for the novel EUV resist developments for improving imaging capabilities. The company has demonstrated its capability in both the materials tech development and commercialization.

More about Inpria

The company was founded in 2007 by Andrew Grenville and Douglas Keszler. It has its headquarters in Corvallis, OR.  It is developing a new platform of inorganic patterning materials for the semiconductor industry. The company focuses on extreme ultra violet lithography and offers semiconductor manufacturers a purpose built solutions for the semiconductor patterning at 7nm and beyond. The company’s products are designed for only supporting critical imaging requirements but also for simplifying the pattern transfer process in a unique manner. The company is a spin out from the NFS- funded Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry and Oregon State University’s Department of Chemistry.
