    yeah, 40nm = immersion lithography, basically they submerge the mask and wafer in a special liquid to improve the photon paths traveling from the mask to the wafer, and they use double patterning, every wafer gets exposed twice, and possibly from different angles and a different mask set, to improve the patterns.

    that results in extra costs... not to mention that the wafers need to be of better quality as well the smaller the designs that get etched into them get...

    i always thought that by the time a new node is ready for mp, the tools have advanced and evolved so much that the new tools for the new node will cost as much as the old tool costed when that node launched... but that doesnt seem to be the case... at least not anymore, i think it used to work like that for a while...

    i recommend you to put an "i believe" or "im sure" in front of it to soften a possible fall on the face in case nvidia screws up somehow and somebody brings up this old quote hehehe
