Mitsui Chemicals is a Japanese chemical group whose relevance to AI silicon runs through two specialised consumables rather than the chip itself. Its ICROS tape protects wafer surfaces during the back-grinding and thinning steps that make chips thin enough to stack, where it holds a dominant position; it also makes photomask pellicles, the thin protective membranes that keep lithography masks clean. The model reads this as packaging-adjacent supply — small in dollar terms, but a chokepoint consumable that advanced packaging and lithography lines quietly depend on to keep running.
