The Iran conflict sparks a PGMEA supply crisis, another 'chokepoint' moment for global AI chips?

More than 40% of Japan's naphtha imports have been disrupted, triggering a supply crisis for the semiconductor lithography solvent propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA). Leading chemical company Shin-Etsu Chemical has withdrawn its earnings forecast, while Samsung and SK Hynix have received warnings of supply disruptions. The transition to alternative materials is expected to take up to a year. Although there may be several months and dozens of production steps between the naphtha supply disruption and the shutdown of semiconductor production lines, analysts warn that the potential downside risks have been significantly underestimated.
