Semiconductors & Chip Production
How a chip is made, why the leading edge sits with one company in one place, and how the chip war between Washington and Beijing has been fought, from the US-Japan precedent of the 1980s to the 2026 truce. Follows the AI concentration from Nvidia through TSMC, ASML, and the memory makers, whose 2026 boom made memory half the industry. Opens with a dated table of the state of the art and a Who's Who.
