Putting a layer of laboratory-grown diamond next to the hottest part of a chip, because nothing else moves heat as fast.

06Ways to take part
Not investment advice. This says how the public can reach a company — a job, its shares, its products — not whether anyone should. It takes no account of anyone’s circumstances, and a company holding a chokepoint is not a reason to own it. What this is not
- Work there
- It publishes its roles on its own careers page.Official careers page ↗
- Own part of it
- Its shares trade publicly as CC US, bought and sold through a broker that reaches that exchange.CC US listing record ↗Its SEC filings
- Buy from it
- At this depth of the chain most sales are to other businesses, under contract. No page of its own is recorded here yet.

A loop is one design, build and measure turn. Severity is a dated judgement on a 0–12 scale, not a measurement, and the judgements are not added together — the figure shown is the worst single one.
