Thank You for Visiting DKK America Materials at SEMICON West 2026!

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who visited the DKK America Materials, Inc. (“DKA”) booth at SEMICON West 2026 in San Francisco last month.

It was a great opportunity to exchange valuable information and ideas with industry professionals and learn more about your interests and needs. We truly appreciated your interest in our products, and your visits made this year’s exhibition a very rewarding experience for our team.

We look forward to meeting you at SEMICON West 2027 in Phoenix, Arizona!

The next SEMICON West is just five months away, and DKA will be exhibiting again. If you could not join us in San Francisco this year, we hope you will have the opportunity to visit us in Phoenix next year.

Please stop by our booth #4625 to learn more about our advanced zirconia and ceria sol materials for semiconductor CMP and other high-tech applications, as well as our high-function zirconium compounds for semiconductor equipment components and coatings, including rare-earth-free calcia-stabilized zirconia (CaSZ).

We look forward to meeting you in Phoenix!

Location: Phoenix Convention Center, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Date: March 30–April 1, 2027

Booth: 4625

Meanwhile in Japan…

Showcasing Calcia-Stabilized Zirconia (CaSZ) at JIMTOF 2026!

Our parent company, Daiichi Kigenso Kagaku Kogyo Co., Ltd. (“DKK”), has also been an active participant at exhibitions in Japan.

Introducing a next-generation rare-earth-free zirconia material.

In October, DKK exhibited at JIMTOF2026 (The 33rd JAPAN INTERNATIONAL MACHINE TOOL FAIR at the Tokyo Big Sight), showcasing Calcia Stabilized Zirconia (CaSZ), developed using our proprietary low-temperature sintering technology. By utilizing Calcia as the stabilizer, CaSZ eliminates the need for rare-earth elements, contributing to supply stability and reduced raw material procurement risks. The material also offers high strength, high fracture toughness, and excellent resistance to hydrothermal degradation. It is well suited for machine tool components, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and wear-resistant structural parts where both durability and stable supply are critical.
