I’m honestly surprised we have not seen a blank wafer shortage. I remember the craziness post 2011 earthquake...”well how many wafers do we have”

  There is a blank wafer shortage, but - strangely - for 200mm wafers (not the state-of-the-art 300mm ones) https://www.extremetech.com/computing/318554-a-massive-chip-shortage-is-hitting-the-entire-semiconductor-industry https://www.extremetech.com/computing/318554-a-massive-chip-...

    Interesting. Tells us something about the maturity of the products seeing unanticipated demand.

    I wouldn't even have thought to look at 200mm for a shortage. That is an (in hindsight) obvious corner of death for these processes/products I wouldn't even have thought of.
