Ajinomoto, the Japanese company best known for seasoning, makes a thin film that sits between the layers of wiring under nearly all high-performance computer processors, by its own account.

Chipmakers rarely switch to a rival film, because testing a new one takes a long time, and that keeps the growth with Ajinomoto.
