Supply 50 % of the worlds 50 % chip raw materials in the Ukrainian factory to st

(Washington Reuters) The Russian and Ukraine war caused the two Ukrainian sacred suppliers (NEON) suppliers supplying about 50%of the main raw materials of the world's main raw materials in the world, which may increase the price of chips and exacerbate semiconductor shortages.

About 45%to 54%of the world's semiconductor -grade mirror is from two Ukrainian mirular suppliers Ingas and Cryoin.When making a chip, the laser must be used on the silicon wafer, and the laser needs a rare gas such as the air.It is estimated that the gasters used in chip production last year were about 540 metric tons.

Invanis of representatives of INGAS and Cryoin said in an interview that, as the Russian army strengthened its attack on cities across Ukraine, both companies had suspended operations.

Global chips are in short supply due to the crown disease epidemic. Today, the discontinuation of the two -gas suppliers in Ukraine may make the chip shortage more serious.

Analysts of the US Finance Research and Analysis Center (CFRA) analyzer Ji Nuo pointed out that if the war continues and the inventory is exhausted in April, a broader supply chain may be further limited, and the manufacturer will not be important for many importantCustomer manufacturing terminal products.

Ingas chief business officer Avic said in an email sent to Reuters that before the war broke out, the company produced 15,000 to 2 for customers in Taiwan, South Korea, China, the United States, and Germany every month.Wanli -cubic meal of salamander, about 75%of which is used in the chip industry.Ingas is headquartered in Mariwol, besieged by the Russian army.

Cryoin is located in Odessa, the third largest city in Ukraine. It originally produced about 15,000 to 15,000 cubic meters per month.Bangda Renko, the company's business development director, revealed that on February 24, the company stopped operating on the day of the Russian army invading Ukraine to ensure the safety of employees.She said that unless violence stopped, the company would not be able to perform an order with 13,000 cubic meters of sacrum next month.

Taiwan's accumulated circuit manufacturing company (TSMC) is the world's largest chip founder.The Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs issued a statement saying that Taiwanese enterprises have prepared in advance and have a "security inventory". In the short term, there will be no problems with the supply chain.

However, Lita Shon-Roy, president of the US Electronic Material Market Survey Company, pointed out that large factories such as Intel, Samsung, TSMC, etc. have greater purchasing power and inventory, which may be enoughHowever, smaller chip factories do not have such a buffer capability, and there may be problems in production.
