The 14A factory process involves about 2,000 steps, each requiring detailed tuning to enable manufacturing at thousands of wafers per week with repeatable results.

“We're finalizing the tool sets that it will be manufactured on, and we're working on kind of the fine-tuning of each of the process steps. There's about two thousand steps in the factory that you have to go do, and you need to do really intricate work at each one of those to make sure it's fine-tuned, it can go into manufacturing, it can run thousands of wafers a week, uh, on this process, and it can be repeatable every single time.”
