That said, TCO will only be competitive if the etch tool is able to process more than one ‘device equivalent’ layer in a single step, otherwise you would just linearly multiply the TCO by the number of stacked layer of device (except wafer cost)…

Moore’s Law enables this? Or maybe reveals it?

It aims to be a low cost technology but may not be.
