In depth · editorial + model · written 2026-07-13

Fujimi is a polishing-materials specialist and a leading supplier of CMP slurries — the abrasive chemistries used to planarise a wafer between the many patterning steps of advanced chipmaking. It sits in the materials layer, feeding both the process-chemicals and silicon-wafer parts of the chain, well upstream of any finished device. The slurry is a consumable: every wafer passes through polishing, and passes through it repeatedly.

That repetition is the structural hook. As chips add more metal layers and move to stacked, three-dimensional structures, the number of polishing steps multiplies rather than shrinks. A concentrated supplier whose slurries are qualified into a given process is hard to displace mid-flow, so its pricing power scales quietly with wafer volumes and with the rising complexity of leading-edge nodes — the reason the model reads it as centrally exposed.
