Surely the cost per wafer is more or less the same no matter where you catch it, since you'll end up with a bubble in your manufacturing pipeline of one unit?

If it's an issue in an early stage of the production pipeline and the same chemical contamination is in place for more than one lot, you eat up to an entire pipeline full of product.
