It is the world's biggest producer of silicon wafers and PVC resin, selling materials in volume under long term customer relationships across chipmaking, construction, electronics, and healthcare markets.","For semiconductors it supplies 300mm silicon wafers, photoresists including EUV grades, and photomask blanks, the raw inputs for the leading edge logic and HBM capacity being built for AI.

Every AI chip starts on a silicon wafer, and Shin-Etsu makes more of them than anyone else, alongside the EUV photoresists that pattern leading edge designs. That gives it foundational leverage to AI driven wafer starts. Because PVC and industrial chemicals make up a large share of the company, the AI signal is diluted at the group level.","faq":[{"q":"What does Shin-Etsu Chemical do?","a":"Shin-Etsu is a diversified Japanese chemicals company.
