to 18 nm nodes. At those nodes, the industry will start getting to the point where semiconductor
manufacturing tools are too expensive to depreciate with volume production; that is, their costs will
be so high that the value of their lifetime productivity can never justify it. Lastly, the power require-
ments of chips are also increasing. More power being equivalent to more heat equivalent to bigger

putting them on smal ...
