I heard explanation that at some point silicone prices skyrocketed, so Germany shifted RnD from monocrystals to thin film panels

High prices caused an influx of investment - and silicone prices plummeted, which allowed China to get the crown

So THATS what I've been doing wrong. I'm telling you guys, we're this close to getting competitive chip production to the west.

Until then, can I just buy your overstock of amazing heat resistant silicone spatulas?

Thanks for the laughs.
