China's industrial silicon sector faces first carbon-emissions cap, tightening secondary energy consumption limits and forcing broad production restructuring
New carbon constraints on industrial silicon could curb output and reshape supply of silicon metal and related downstream materials.

AXT Inc →Prices rise6-inch indium phosphide wafers
The cited report says average 6-inch InP wafer prices rose 250% to $5,000 under the restrictions affecting AXT's China-based substrate output.
