NEW DELHI: There are several 'unintended' consequences of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and one of them is the worsening of the global chip shortage since both nations supply raw materials critical to chip production.
Ukraine is a key supplier of rare gases like neon, which is used in the production of semiconductor fab lasers, while Russia is a critical producer of rare metals like palladium, said Moody's Analytics, in the report titled: ‘Limited Trade Between Ukraine and APAC.’
