Hexafluorobutadien or cryptonite for world microelectronics in Russias hands
- Mar 19
The current situation in the world can be described by one famous phraseologist, only with a particle not - "you will not give you no." Every day there are more and more prohibitions for imports and exporting various resources. Prices are inexorably growing, inflation is gaining momentum. However, Russia has in this dispute while Kozri is more. And they are essential. Today we will talk about one of them - hexafluorobutadiene.
Hexafluorobutadien - chemical reagent in the form of gas. Explosive. It serves for making chips by plasmochemical etching silicon substrates. At the very beginning of the development of the industry, it was used for the manufacture of USB carriers. Now this gas is needed to all who produce modern technical and chemical products.
To date, Russia accounts for 40-45% of the global production of hexafluorobutadiene. The Russian Federation is the largest supplier of this gas to other countries. And the United States in this regard depend on Russia. Because annually America requires 8 million tons of hexafluorobutadiene for production needs.
The domestic IT project Sfera is preparing for release and open to investors. Learn more about the application, which is not in the world, read on the site. Thanks for the support!
The first consulting firm according to the TechCet electronic materials spoke. She advises large global microcircuit manufacturers. According to TechCet experts, 80-90% of the total import of neon in America was supplied by Russia.
If the Russian Federation stops supply, then the crisis in the semiconductor market is not avoided. Recently, many large corporations have failed losses due to lack of microchips. Now they threaten almost a complete stop of production.
Take, for example, a domestic company in Perm "Yodobrom". In Soviet times, she was the flagship of the chemical industry. However, the difficult years of decline of the Russian economy affected it.
The company's reconstruction was engaged only in the early 2000s. They made a bet on chemical production, which at that time was less in demand. Moreover, the founders of the Perm Company set the goal not only to produce chemical products, but also to occupy the relevant niche in the world market. And they did not lose.
With the help of Japanese experts, they managed not only to establish production, but also to modernize technological processes. Today, this company is one of the largest suppliers of gases around the world.
In addition to hexafluorobutadiene, "iodobrom" produces chemical elements for medicinal substances: trimethylsilane and monomethylsilane.
Consequently, the freezing of supplies will not only hit the wallet of large players, and at all will make incapable such giants, such as TSMC. This is the largest semiconductor market in the Taiwanese company.
She recently suspended the production of Russian processors. But if Russia is in response to suspend the supply of hexafluorobutadiene, then TSMC will have to stop all production. And this is not a private private company. Her offices are located in the USA, the Netherlands, India, Japan and other countries. The stopping of cooperation will follow unfavorable events for the entire global economy.
They say that the wedge wedge is embroodble, but is it possible to apply such a strategy on a global scale? One, restrictive measures is clear - not the best tool in resolving disputes.
What do you think, what move to Russia will be correct? Stop deliveries to countries that are trying to undermine the Russian economy or look for a way out with the help of diplomacy?
