What it is
High-purity neon is essential to the excimer lasers inside DUV lithography scanners, and before 2022 Ukraine supplied roughly half of the world's semiconductor-grade neon (a byproduct of Soviet-era steelmaking, purified by firms like Ingas and Cryoin in Mariupol and Odesa). Russia's 2022 invasion knocked out much of that capacity and spiked prices, exposing a critical single-region dependency. Since then China, the US and others have expanded neon purification, easing but not eliminating the concentration risk into 2025-2026.

Times are New York time. Free sources are pulled on the schedule shown by the pipeline runner (data/corpus/run_pipelines.py), which logs every run; paid sources run only with the owner's yes; filings and newsroom pages are re-read when a new document is filed.
Links come from the AI Systems Map ontology. Deals carry the filing's own wording and a quote, checked against the document; latest source 2026-10-26. Not investment advice.
