2 pointsby lakeeffectabout 3 years ago
In KrF and ArF excimer lasers, which are used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, neon accounts for over 96% of laser gases used as the buffer gas.<p>Taken from Phillipkglass comment<p>With 90% of the supply coming from Ukraine what can be used to replace it in production. This seems to be a matter of national security that needs to be solved and quickly
