Tungsten Hexafluoride Prices Double as AI Computing Demand Reshapes Semiconductor Materials Supply
The price of tungsten hexafluoride (WF6) has doubled in six months, with 7N-grade product quotes exceeding RMB 3.6 million per ton. WF6 is essential for semiconductor manufacturing, serving as the sole precursor for tungsten deposition in 3D NAND and high-bandwidth memory technologies.
Japanese suppliers Kanto Denka and Central Glass, accounting for about 25% of global WF6 supply, are facing raw material sourcing challenges and plan to cut production in the second half of 2026. China's export controls on tungsten products have further tightened global supply, exacerbating the situation.
