The advanced semiconductor manufacturing segment is facing a shortage of high-purity CO2, a critical compound required to make chips. CO2 Production Declines, Raising Fears of Tightening Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing In The Coming Months Last month, we reported that major semiconductor manufacturers were facing a shortage of Tungsten Hexafluoride or WF6, a critical gas for advanced packaging processes required by HBM and 3D NAND technologies. The shortages stemmed from China cutting off the tungsten supply to Japanese gas producers. Now, a second chemical compound is facing potential shortages. CO2, or Carbon Dioxide, is used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The first instances […]
