Praxair has followed Air Liquide in raising silane (monosilane, SiH4) prices by between 20 and 30 percent, effective immediately, the company announced.
“This action will allow Praxair to continue to invest in supply and
distribution capabilities around the world to meet our customers’ need
for reliable silane supply,” said Ray Roberge, President of Praxair
Electronics.
Praxair
cited increasing raw materials costs and demand out-stripping supply
due to growth in the photovoltaics and liquid-crystal display
industries for the price rise.
