Fabs are just a wee bit more complicated than buy the machine and plug it in. Everything is very tightly integrated under insanely precise requirements. Changing equipment is akin to redesigning and reconstructing a non trivial portion of the fab. And that's just integrating these lithography machines, which are but one piece of a huge puzzle.
- dataflow 5y agoI don't think I suggested otherwise. But it's not like Intel wouldn't have the capability of running ASML machines if it wanted to, is it?
- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoYes. But it will take a non trivial amount of time for them to change course, and they could still stumble on any number of other issues on the integration.
