Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan · AI Core · Fabrication, memory & packaging / Advanced packaging · disco.co.jp

DISCO supplies semiconductor manufacturing equipment, including grinders, laser saws and singulation systems used in wafer processing and AI chip production.

Positioning

The near-monopoly (60-80% share) in wafer dicing and grinding equipment and blades; the tools that thin wafers to the 30-50 micron levels HBM stacking requires, which makes it a gating step in the HBM and advanced-packaging chain.
