Makes IC package substrates for CPUs/AI chips and ceramic diesel particulate filters for vehicles.
Makes IC package substrates for CPUs/AI chips and ceramic diesel particulate filters for vehicles.
Substrate makers are paid per board on long-qualified programmes, so a chip maker's product cycle shapes demand, and Intel has historically been an anchor customer. The ceramics side supplies particulate filters for diesel vehicles, a mature business. It has been adding substrate capacity in Gifu Prefecture to meet AI-chip demand.
In one line: A Japanese Amkor/Unimicron for chip substrates.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification, scale). Qualified substrate supplier for leading-edge CPU/AI packages; capacity and yield take years to replicate.
