Chipmakers Need a Supply Chain That Avoids Ukraine

The semiconductor industry’s usual source of neon gas has left production vulnerable to geopolitical crises and other disruptions.

As Russia launched an all-out attack against Ukraine early Thursday, semiconductor makers and tech hardware manufacturers were confronting the prospect that a protracted conflict would interrupt the exports of neon gas, a relatively obscure yet vital component of the chipmaking process. (memory chips)

Ukraine is the leading global supplier of purified neon gas.....70% of global neon gas exports. The chips are vital to the production of everything from automobiles to factory equipment to video-game consoles.--https://english.aawsat.com/home/article/3517996/tae-kim/chipmakers-need-supply-chain-avoids-ukraine https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-02-25/computer-chipmakers-need-a-supply-chain-that-avoids-ukraine

also, the moon’s thin atmosphere contains neon gas

is Elon interested in THIS?
