Is this due to the greater cost-overhead outside of lithography (which can't be the complete story because rarely is the going to a smaller node simply a matter of doing finer litho) which leads to incentive to upgrade an entire line rather than continue production using the amortized line? soulnibblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11934209395781755291noreply@blogger.com
