Consider also that 28nm planar transistors are more durable than FINFET, especially in the dissipation of heat. The automobile industry showed us that there is demand for older nodes.

As far as I know, Global Foundries ceased efforts at 7nm and lower because they could not afford it. They had previously signed a contract with IBM to produce silicon at these more advanced nodes that they could not honor, and there was leg

I do not think that you are correct. "The thermal conductivity of aluminum is 237 W/mK, and that of tin is only 66.6 W/mK, so the thermal conductivity of aluminum foil is much better than that of tin foil. Due to its high the
