99% of the barrier is feature size. Producing the feature size starts with photolithography.

If you want to talk about centralizing concerns, look into the number of companies who can produce an EUV light source capable of supplying a photo tool with powerful & precise output 24/7/365.

Is there more than one? ASML in the Netherlands is the only company I ever hear mentioned when it comes to photolithography.

I'd love to see this answered as well. Do KLA or Lam produce any of this manufacturing equipment?

[__alexs]

There is only ASML.

Somebody needs to start a new cutting edge lithography equipment manufacturing company. Bonus points if they name it Kurgan.
