Russia Offers To Export Hydrogen Fluoride To South Korea Amidst Curbs
Japan recently revoked preferential treatment offered to South Korea for semiconductor raw material exports. This export curb surrounds three materials that are crucial for fabrication, and making matters worse, the materials can not be stored without a loss in quality or prohibitive costs. Therefore, South Korean companies are in a bind as new export conditions […]
