TSMC, Samsung, or Intel might be able to build a 3nm fab for about that price (maybe it's more like $30 billion though).

You or I? No.

Focused ion beam milling and electron microscopy machine is under $5m, but your fab output volume for pre-doped CMOS epitaxial grown core-stack wafers would never offset the capital investment. This is a very real machine, and no I don't have one available at this time. Probably it is for the greater good. lol =3
