Apple, a key user of advanced processes, is likely to be impacted by these cost changes.

Consequently, the production cost for each wafer and chip has risen significantly. This increase is largely attributed to the need for more advanced extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) equipment to sustain a 2-nanometer production capacity of 50,000 wafers per month.

IBS estimates that a 2-nanometer fabrication facility capable of producing about 50,000 wafers monthly would cost around $28 billion, compared to $20 billion for a 3-nanometer facility. This scenario could lead to a limited supply of 2nm wafers, stabilizing their value and aligning production with future demand. If 2nm wafers become excessively costly, companies might prefer the more economical 3nm option. This could potentially elevate the price of 3nm wafers if demand exceeds manufacturing capacity. As more companies shift to the 2nm process, there might be an increased demand for 3nm wafers.

Supply and demand dynamics in the semiconductor industry are complex.
