Do you realize that is just one short step in producing chips, even before we get to full devices

How do you intend to do quality control? How do you even plan to design chips? Have you looked into the local regulations for the toxic chemicals you will need to purchase, store, and dispose of? Clean room costs?

The list gets rather long, I worked in a fab 20 years ago

Then, do you think ASML is going to sell you one? Do you know how high in demand and low volume production those machines are? L
