Why The AI Race Is Also A Chemistry Race

Ajinomoto, a Japanese company known for MSG, dominates the market for Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF), a key chemical material insulating AI chip wiring. As AI chips advance, chemistry and materials science are becoming critical bottlenecks due to physical limits in wiring, heat dissipation, and space. Innovations in materials are essential to overcome these challenges and sustain AI hardware progress.
