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

Hwatsing makes chemical-mechanical polishing tools — the systems that planarise a wafer's surface flat between processing steps so the next layer can be patterned cleanly. Spun out of Tsinghua University, it is the leading domestic CMP supplier in China, shipping to fabs such as SMIC and YMTC. Its structural hook mirrors the localization theme: CMP is a required step at every layer of an advanced chip, and as China's fabs expand under export restrictions Hwatsing becomes the home-grown alternative to entrenched foreign CMP leaders — a protected niche whose demand rises with domestic capacity build-out.
