As far as I know it's also the only company in the world where the US goverment has a major stake in (25% I think).

Good news is that China has delivered their 8mm lithography machines and are promising 3mm sometime in the next two years. maybe this will introduce more competion down the road

Wait what? I've soldered SMD parts smaller than that, I guess I could do 3mm lithography free-hand with a good razor blade.

Sounds like I'd have a nice head-start in the "cutting-edge" field of sub-centimeter lithography.

I think GP means nm, not mm

I have my doubts about this.

SMIC is still struggling with 7nm, unable to deliver at scale. 3nm in two years sounds like a leap.

I don't see any listing for USG in their shareholders?

Do you mean 28nm?
