> good luck even coming close to specification of Infineon parts. You don't have to meet or beat the vendor's expectations when you have the ability to build them in any manner you deem fit. Vertical integration shouldn't be about a direct 1:1 replacement of your vendors. It should be a 2-way street wherein your requirements adjust relative to your revised ambitions. In-house design cycles can allow cheaper and more rapid development so a lot of other levers become available to pull. Also, power ICs aren't exactly requiring EUV tools, multi-patterning and other bleeding-edge manufacturing knowledge.
