Aren't these the kinds of technologies used to produce the kinds of chips that are in great shortage atm?
Or perhaps a better way of stating what I'm trying to say is... aren't these the kinds of technologies that could be used to produce chips that can replace those that are in great shortage atm?
Not as dependent on highly advanced lithography machinery from the likes of ASML, but not so ancient as those that have recently stopped churning out the same basic chips after 20-30 years.
