What it does

Japanese equipment maker best known for wafer-cleaning systems, the machines that strip contaminants from wafers between the hundreds of steps in chipmaking; it also makes printing and display equipment.

Why it matters

SCREEN's annual results say generative-AI-driven demand for advanced logic, memory and advanced packaging kept chip investment strong. Every leading-edge wafer passes through cleaning steps many times, so it is a volume supplier to the fabs that make AI chips.

How it makes money

Sells semiconductor production equipment (its largest segment) plus graphic-arts, display and printed-circuit-board equipment, and related services.

Geography

Japan (Kyoto)

AI stack position

Semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The highly specialized machines and design software used to create advanced chips in the first place. Without these tools, no chip maker in the world — including the ones building NVIDIA's chips — could produce anything.
