The HSQ situation has gone from bad (which we’ve all experienced over the years) to worse. It looks like the distribution network has collapsed to one supplier (Krayden) and the lead times are in months. I’ve had some on order since July 9th and we’ve recently got an updated delivery date of November 18th. </div><div><br></div><div>There’s been a lively discussion between members of the MAEBL (Meeting For Advanced Ebeam Lithography) community about this problem. We are hoping that we will have good news about progress on a solution to this at next years meeting at Caltech (April 6-7). </div><div><br></div><div>Kevin <br><br><div dir="ltr"><br>On Sep 17, 2019, at 2:26 PM, N Shane Patrick <<a href="mailto:patricns@uw.edu">patricns@uw.edu</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">Hello all,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’ve been informed by Krayden that as of September 11 the price of HSQ (XR-1541-006, 125mL) has increased to $1801.43, which represents a massive increase from my order back in July. I don’t know the reasons, but thought people might want to be aware. Lead times continue to be 12 weeks or more.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">
