Probably because they aren’t human labor intensive and most of the costs of fabs are in construction and equipment, and almost all of the expensive lithography stuff comes from ASML (a Dutch company)?
- dreamcompiler 1y agoThe EUV light source comes from ASML which is indeed Dutch.

It's an extremely complicated and expensive kludge but it works. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithography https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithogra...
