This was rivetingly told. This video is a masterclass in how to communicate complex technology in an engaging, gripping, manner. Wow!

“The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human... sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot.”

No idea who you are or how I landed here. But your presentation was next level.

Absolutley amazing, Nastya! Bravo👏🏼🎉🚀

It’s the first time I’ve seen a documentary about semiconductors that explains very well how to install the factory, from Samsung Korean investment to the USA, a very good work. Thank you.

Very detailed and accurate description. I've just retired after more than 3 decades in the industry, in my case working on CDSEM. Going to a 2nm process is a nightmare for every tool vendor and I'm very glad to be leaving those headaches behind. Thank heavens they dropped the 450mm wafers from future technology. I spent a fair bit of time at TSMC and am more than happy that I'll never have to go there again. I was also involved with Samsung for years. As bad as they were to work for, they are way better than TSMC. Just out of personal interest, one of my machines is visible at around 26 minutes. I'm pretty sure I know where it is and who installed it (Hi John L!).

Anastasi this was one for the record books. So many significant events in human history being quietly made at such high speed. Thank you for recognizing and perfectly capturing these moment so eloquently for us all. The progress on these chips affect us all every day, while most don't even notice. Like, spending a day on Earth and not noticing the sky.

I'm glad you covered this, most people don't realize how specific the technical regulations, from water quality, land quality, enviroment, workforce education are for success. These are the most complicated and advanced facilities built by human kind, including the hardware to manufacture the chips. It really takes the best and brighest and a workforce with the will to learn and advance there own knowledge to make it all come together.
Anastasi explains how Samsung's $50 billion Taylor, Texas chip factory overcame caliche soil with 20,000 deep concrete shafts for vibration-free foundations, secured dual power lines against grid fragility, built a 15M-gallon/day water reclamation plant with 90% recycling, and installed advanced air filtration for humidity control. Precast construction sped walls up, but pivoting from 4nm to 2nm inflated costs, delayed yields, and required Korean engineers to train locals amid supply chain hurdles like imported acids. Tesla's $16.5B AI6 chip deal provides an anchor customer for 2028 production. She describes extreme engineering efforts to stabilize the ground, power, water, air, and chemical supplies so the fab can reliably make ultra‑tiny gate‑all‑around transistors, yet shows that the hardest part is actually process know‑how, yields, and experienced people rather than concrete or machines.
