Besides Intel (who doesnt need a subsidy IMHO) who even makes chips on advanced nodes in the US any more?

Samsung Austin, Intel (NM, OR, AZ), GF, Micron and then it depends.in what is added. Cree, arguably.

The better question: who is building a next Fab. Samsung will expand Intel could TSMC will

Someone, somewhere, will restart Sematech as a research facility. I would bet on either Austin or Ann Arbor.

What do you mean by advanced nodes? If you're talking about nanometers, you've got TI, Micron, and a few others.

Where you have deep voodoo are some of the MEMS and analog manufacturing processes (e.g. ADI). Those aren't necessarily small feature sizes, but they are hyper-advanced. It take massive R&D to replicate them. But they're not large volume either. A few years back, I think car airbags might have been the biggest application.

I think Micron (Crucial) still has US fabs for NAND. They were in partnership with Intel but that agreement was dissolved a couple years ago.

Samsung has a 14nm fab in Austin and GF has a 12nm (?) fab in New York.
