Russian invasion of Ukraine to further strain U.S. chip supply
Russia's invasion of Ukraine could further strain supplies of semiconductor chips amid a shortage that has already caused global production disruptions for tech companies and automakers for more than a year.
Russia and Ukraine are critical sources of neon gas and palladium that are used to produce semiconductor chips, according to Techcet, a California-based market research firm that specializes in critical supply chain materials and components.
Most companies expected the supply crunch to gradually ease throughout this year. But Russia's invasion could change that and create further disruption for the already strained global supply chain.

俄罗斯入侵乌克兰进一步紧张美国芯片供应
俄罗斯入侵乌克兰可能会进一步加剧半导体芯片供应紧张，因为短缺已经导致科技公司和汽车制造商在全球范围内生产中断一年多。
据总部位于加州的专门研究关键供应链材料和组件的市场研究公司 Techcet 称，俄罗斯和乌克兰是用于生产半导体芯片的氖气和钯的重要来源。
大多数公司预计今年供应紧张将逐渐缓解。但俄罗斯的入侵可能会改变这一点，并对已经紧张的全球供应链造成进一步的破坏。
