Helium & Semiconductors

Iran war hits helium supply which in turn hits semiconductors. What do we need semiconductor for = ai

Semiconductor-grade helium is essential for chipmakers to maintain ultraclean and ultracold manufacturing environments. This contaminant-free helium is also needed for energy and heat transfer, and in vacuum chambers.

There is no alternative to ultra-high-purity helium for these chipmaking processes and, without it, fabrication will slow down or even come to a halt.
