Like imagine if it were possible to create new semiconductor factories, making chips en masse, -- you could perhaps do it in a BIIIG state with a lot of land. You could have a factory with like 100 million square feet. Wouldn't that be something?
Maybe we should have more factories.
If only there were a price incentive to do so.
SK Hynix is spending $38 billion to build two factories: one for RAM, one for NAND. They expect to start clean room operations near the middle of 2029 at the earliest.
Building the factories isn't the issue. It's all the equipment needed to make/print the wafers, the equipment needed to keep things running, and perhaps most importantly, the people needed to run the factory. None of these can be found on Craisglist.
