I heard ten years ago that the National Semi fab on-site was a lowly
2-micron fab. Which was enough for keying material.
And rad-hard circuits for their buddies at the NRO.
And 2 mics is fine for certain esoteric processes. Got GaAs?
That's done on 6

They and their ilk are far more interested in things like FPGAs and
adapting numerical algorithms to COTS SIMD hardware, such as graphics

The focus on Thomspon-trojaned tools and Chipworks-style reverse
