Irresistible Materials is a materials technology company developing photo-resist and carbon hard mask materials for semiconductor manufacturing. It was founded in 2010 by David Ure as a spinout from the University of Birmingham and is based in Birmingham, UK. The company is in the final stages of testing a new photo-resist coating intended to allow chip manufacturers to create smaller, lighter devices and meet required standards. Photo-resist is used to coat silicon chips before features are etched using ultraviolet light in a process known as lithography. Irresistible Materials intends to commercialise its photo-resist and carbon hard mask products and will use the recent funding to support ongoing development and commercialisation. The article reports the £660K funding package but does not disclose revenue or valuation figures.
