Since March, the semiconductor industry has once again sounded "up". It is understood that a number of semiconductor manufacturers have issued price increase letters one after another, raising prices for a variety of their products.
As we all know, the world is currently in the severe situation of the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Affected by the war, the supply of key semiconductor gases between Russia and Ukraine may be forced to be interrupted, which will have a serious impact on the subsequent semiconductor supply chain.
At present, the global core shortage has not been alleviated. After the United States, Japan and other countries have expressed their position on sanctions against Russia, the industry believes that Russia will also respond, and may use the control of these semiconductor raw materials as a countermeasure, so that the price of inert gas will soar and affect the supply of semiconductors.
