Tokyo Electron Supply Chain
A semiconductor production tool has its own production network before it reaches a chip factory. Tokyo Electron's displayed suppliers bring together a materials business, an equipment power-system maker and a company that combines trading with design and manufacturing services. Those are different contributions to building industrial machinery.
Materials, RF power and assembly capabilities
- Resonac Holdings CorporationJP | Supplier to Tokyo Electron | #1 of 3 by available USD-normalized size
- DAIHEN CorporationJP | Supplier to Tokyo Electron | #2 of 3 by available USD-normalized size
- Naigai TEC CorporationJP | Supplier to Tokyo Electron | #3 of 3 by available USD-normalized size
Resonac Holdings Corporation has semiconductor-materials businesses. DAIHEN Corporation makes RF power systems for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Naigai TEC Corporation offers component procurement, design, assembly and related services. Naigai TEC combines sourcing with production services, while DAIHEN develops equipment power systems. The supplier set thus reaches both the organization of equipment production and specialized hardware.
Equipment production before wafer production
Tokyo Electron's equipment portfolio covers deposition, coating and developing, etching and cleaning, among other semiconductor production steps. Its place in the chain is therefore between companies supplying equipment inputs and chipmakers buying completed production systems. The supplier list concerns Tokyo Electron's sourcing, rather than every material consumed by its customers' fabs.
Chip factories on the other side of the toolmaker
- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.South Korea | Tokyo Electron supplies this customer | #1 of 3 by available USD-normalized size
- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company LimitedTaiwan | Tokyo Electron supplies this customer | #2 of 3 by available USD-normalized size
- Intel Corporationthe United States | Tokyo Electron supplies this customer | #3 of 3 by available USD-normalized size
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and Intel Corporation appear downstream. They connect Tokyo Electron to chip production with different mixes of memory, foundry and processor manufacturing. A supplier selling into Tokyo Electron is one step removed from those fab customers in this displayed chain.
Procurement and assembly are separate sourcing roles
Naigai TEC's combination of component sourcing and assembly is a useful distinction within this set: a supplier can help organize equipment production as well as sell an individual part. Resonac and DAIHEN bring different capabilities. Treating all three as interchangeable component vendors would obscure those differences.
