So apparently the key raw material needed to make smartphones is almost near depletion. Soon it will be impossible to continue production of Smartphones.

We might have to go back to stuffty flip phones.



we are running out of smartphoneium!?!?!

This is a pretty important thing to hear, and honestly sounds like some kind of spam chain mail, wheres the source peperoni toni?

Smartphones are made from Helium which is getting near depletion. It's common knowledge that helium doesn't have long until depletion.

where did you hear that toney

wtf where did you get this

if phones are made from helium then why doesn't mine float off?

Am I the only one who actually wishes we'd go back to flip phones?

You seriously didn't know that helium is the key for smartphones?

Helium doesn't grow on trees you know.

This just in. Smartphones are made from helium, as in the gas. As opposed to metals, silicates and other materials that are not gasses.

Believe it or not, you couldn’t read this article right now if not for helium. That’s because every smartphone is made with it.

Actually, a lot of different modern electronic devices require helium during the manufacturing process, from fiber optics (your Internet connection) to flatscreen TVs. But today we’re talking about your smartphone.

Inside of your phone is a small semiconductor chip—a tiny wafer that houses circuits that direct electrical currents throughout your phone, which ultimately allow you to perform different functions (like sharing this article for example).

Throughout the 1,500+ step process (which starts with sand) in making a semiconductor chip, helium is needed for several critical functions.

A clean, controlled atmosphere is needed to produce the chips. Just a single grain of dust can ruin a chip’s functionality, and so because it is non-reactive, helium is used to flush out and purify the assembly environments.

Helium is needed as a carrier gas during the deposition process, which is when a insulation layer is grown on the silicon surface within an inert atmosphere. It’s also used as a dilutant gas during plasma etching of the wafer, in which the circuit design is etched into the silicon.

Helium is also essential as a coolant to prevent overheating during manufacturing and because of it’s legendary ability to permeate the tiniest of pores and seams in materials, it’s also used for leak detection in compartments that need to be completely sealed.

Without this little chip, your smartphone wouldn’t exist. And without helium, the semiconductor chip wouldn’t exist.

Therefore, no helium means no smartphones!
