boemThe world's semiconductor industry hinges on a single quartz factory in North Carolina
Here’s the actual top 10 over exporting countries of quartz. Not even in the top 5 for the US.
1 China $72,289,000 2 Turkey $68,161,000 3 India $43,827,000 4 Spain $27,107,000 5 Brazil $26,611,000 6 United States $21,351,000 7 Germany $16,791,000 8 Italy $13,219,000 9 Canada $12,225,000 10 Egypt $10,204,000
The article’s implication is that not all quartz is the same quality. Are you saying that’s incorrect? This list seems irrelevant otherwise.
The article is correct. High purity quartz is necessary for semiconductors, not all quartz meets this standard.
So, do you just comment without reading articles or do you just not understand the quantifiers “high” and “purity”?
I mean come on, I assume you have some sort of brain, use it before commenting stupid shit.
deegeeseThat’s irrelevant.
The article is talking about ultra high purity quartz.
Top exporters of hamburger have nothing to do with the market for A5 Wagyu.
They can’t use just any old piece of quartz so this info is worthless to the discussion.
