SUMCO supplies the semiconductor industry with single crystal ingots and various wafers ( polished , epitaxial , annealed , SOI ). SUMCO is the world's second largest manufacturer of wafers (after Shin-Etsu and ahead of Wacker Chemie / Siltronic ) and one of the leading manufacturers of 300 mm wafers.
Like all other wafer manufacturers, SUMCO was hit very hard by the collapse in demand in 2008/2009, which was triggered by the general financial and economic crisis. With a turnover of 218 billion yen, only a negative result of −100.5 billion yen could be reported. In 2007 sales were still at a level of 475.0 billion yen with a positive result of 74.9 billion yen.
