TAIPEI — China’s Huawei is behind efforts to build a chip chemical company capable of rivaling global leaders, in a radical attempt to develop a fully self-sufficient domestic semiconductor supply chain, Nikkei Asia has learned.
The aim is to turn the recently founded Zhuhai Cornerstone Technologies Co. into an “end-to-end” supplier capable of competing against the likes of Shin-Etsu Chemical, JSR, Merck, Dupont and Dow, sources said.
