chip production is not simply buying off the shelf equipment and magically you can get to 10nm max yield that is profitable.
equipment is one part of the whole production process. ASML may know how to build EUV but their skillset is not running the fab. if all you need is equipment, why Intel is struggling with 10nm for so long?
- arp242 5y agoWhat other kind of challenges are there in the manufacturing process? I'm not really very knowledgable in this area, and curious to know a bit more.
