Semiconductors & Rare Earth elements: What are the Alternatives?| 27th September, 2022
The use of rare earth elements is crucial to semiconductor manufacturing. With China being the greatest producer of these elements, and new restrictions on their export being introduced, the supply chain is suffering. Companies are being forced to turn to alternative raw materials or suppliers, but how can they find alternatives?
In this webinar you¡¯ll learn:
- How these shortages affect the electronics industry worldwide
- The risk a market can face when depending on a sole source
- How SpringerMaterials can be used to find alternatives to single source materials
