### Coherent Silicon Carbide LLC (SiC 웨이퍼) (high)  → /coherent.md
- note: Supply-chain control, not mere procurement: it takes 150mm and 200mm SiC substrates and epi wafers — the bottleneck for electrification and industrial SiC power semis — from Coherent's SiC subsidiary under a long-term deal tied to its 2023 equity investment, effectively pre-securing an extremely tight wafer supply.

- [confirms] KIPOST (KO, news, published 2023-10-11) https://www.kipost.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=313241: "Takes Coherent's SiC wafers to produce SiC semiconductors."

### Coherent Silicon Carbide LLC (SiC 12.5% 지분) (high)  → /coherent.md
- note: Vertical integration that locks SiC supply with capital: in December 2023 it took a 12.5% stake in Coherent's SiC subsidiary for $500M (Denso holds an equal 12.5%). Paired with long-term wafer supply, it is a strategic stake to control the material bottleneck as it scales EV and industrial power modules.

- [confirms] KIPOST (KO, news, published 2023-10-11) https://www.kipost.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=313241: "$500M each (~KRW 670B) for 12.5% stakes."

### 원자재·전자부품 (구리·강재·반도체) (mid)
- note: The FY2026 filing cites rising material prices and higher expenses trimming Life-segment operating profit; metals (copper, steel) and electronic components are the main cost drivers.
- [confirms] Mitsubishi Electric (EN, filing, published 2026-04-28) https://www.mitsubishielectric.com/en/pr/2026/pdf/0428_co2.pdf: "Rising material prices and higher expenses trimmed the HVAC operating margin."
