The method has demonstrated a 50% recycling rate, with hopes that it can be improved dramatically with adjusted configurations, Business Wire reports . This could help fill a gap in the chip supply chain caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Before 2022, Ukraine shipped up to 50% of the neon gas used in the semiconductor industry, but its major producers had to stop exports, raising concerns over chip supply .<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top:2em; padding:1em; border-left:4px solid #0073aa; background:#f5f7fa;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> Tom&#8217;s Hardware &bull;  Jon Martindale  &bull; October 6, 2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0.5em 0 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/tech-industry\/gigaphoton-debuts-neon-recycling-system-with-claimed-50-percent-recovery-rate-systems-throw-a-lifeline-to-chipmakers-that-utilize-70-percent-of-global-neon-supply-in-duv-lithography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the original article at Tom&#8217;s Hardware &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excerpt: The opening of an article from Tom&#8217;s Hardware.
