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.
