6 inch wafer, 99% yield using gold at 20nm -- this is not volume manufacturing in the real world on a leading edge process. It's interesting research for sure,

6 inch wafer, 99% yield using gold at 20nm -- this is not volume manufacturing in the real world on a leading edge process. It's interesting research for sure, but there's no way that's going to help the current shortages that already exist today. Maybe if commercialized in 5-10 years it'll be viable.
