Starting from zero will cost bajillions and take decades to get competitive Samsung’s probably not divisible in a way that makes their fabs buyable They can’t buy into any of the 7nm/5nm level players in the PRC and fund their modernization due to sanctions Does anyone else have sub-10nm at anything buy lab scales?
