HOYA (EUV Mask Blanks)

Dominant EUV photomask blank supplier

HOYA supplies the majority of the world's EUV photomask blanks — the ultra-flat, defect-free multilayer substrates on which every EUV chip pattern is written. Together with a small role from AGC and Shin-Etsu, HOYA's EUV blank near-dominance is a severe upstream chokepoint: no blanks, no EUV masks, no leading-edge AI logic. Generic supply-chain maps almost never surface it.
