It's going to cost a lot more than $10m or you're going to have to start a lot simpler. This year, Tower Semiconductor (soon to be part of Intel) has proposed spending $3b on joint venture fab in India that will produce 65nm chips which was cutting edge 17 years ago. TSMC's Japanese plant is $9b for 28nm which is 10 years old.
