Core Viewpoint - Huawei is fostering a local semiconductor chemical company, Zhuhai Jishi Technology, to compete with global leaders and establish a self-sufficient domestic semiconductor supply chain [1]. Group 1: Company Development - Zhuhai Jishi Technology aims to become an "end-to-end" chemical materials supplier, competing with major international firms like Shin-Etsu Chemical, JSR, Merck, DuPont, and Dow [1]. - The company is not focused on developing just one or two types of chemical materials but aims to create a comprehensive "turnkey solution" that covers nearly all key materials required for chip manufacturing [1]. Group 2: Market Context - The high-end photoresist market has long been dominated by Japanese companies such as Shin-Etsu Chemical, JSR, and Tokyo Ohka Kogyo [2]. - The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry and polishing pad markets have been controlled for years by companies like Fujimi, Dow, and DuPont [2]. Group 3: Industry Motivation - There is a strong motivation for China to develop local chemical materials, as the country possesses a robust chemical industry but has not yet reached the high-end standards required for semiconductor manufacturing [3].
