And there wouldn't be enough smart people. These lithography machines are completely wild: the part that fails the most spits out a tiny droplet of molten tin.

And there wouldn't be enough smart people. These lithography machines are completely wild: the part that fails the most spits out a tiny droplet of molten tin. That's hit with a laser, and the excited electrons emit what's called extreme ultraviolet (EUV) which is very close to the softest of X-rays. Most of the power released is wasted bouncing off a series of mirrors, and then wild stuff happens as these energetic photons hit the semi-optional mask cover (pellicle), mask, and then chip: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUV_lithography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUV_lithography
