About Nikon Precision
This record covers the semiconductor lithography business of Nikon, the Japanese optics group. Lithography machines project circuit patterns onto silicon wafers, and Nikon makes steppers and scanners that use deep ultraviolet light. Nikon introduced Japan's first commercial LSI stepper in 1980 and now competes with ASML and Canon. Nikon Precision Inc. is the name of its United States subsidiary, so the record may be a mix of the business and that subsidiary. The parent company was founded in 1917 as Nippon Kogaku and is headquartered in Tokyo.
Nikon Precision was founded in 1917 and is based in Tokyo, Japan. It is listed under Custom Silicon. Its shares trade as 7731.T on TSE.

What Nikon Precision works on
Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
