Japanese maker of precision polishing abrasives and CMP slurry used to planarize semiconductor wafers.
Japanese maker of precision polishing abrasives and CMP slurry used to planarize semiconductor wafers.
Slurries and polishing compounds are consumed with every wafer polished, so sales rise and fall with fab output rather than equipment orders, and a qualified product usually stays in a process for years.
In one line: A CMP-slurry niche supplier, like a smaller CMC Materials.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification). CMP slurry formulations are qualified into fab process nodes; switching risks yield loss.
