Semiconductor & Allied Materials

A chip is a physics device made possible by chemistry. Every etch, clean, deposition, polish and exposure step runs on a material that must be purer, flatter, thinner or more selective than the step before. This Sector Scan maps that materials layer from first principles to market structure, built from AJC field work across the Chinese semiconductor-materials ecosystem, the largest expansion theatre in the world today for chemical manufacturers, investors and strategy teams that need to place the sector in a chemicals frame.
