Tightened supply of helium due to the #MiddleEast #war has started affecting production in global tech supply chains, leaving ​companies scrambling to secure alternative supplies, industry execs said.

Helium is used ‌in several key stages of chipmaking, including cooling, leak detection & precision manufacturing processes, & its prices have soared since the crisis began.
