FutureTech: Your semiconductor chips made in Space-shuttle, Moon or Mars

Is space a final frontier for semiconductor chip fabrication? Well, the answer looks to be not so confirmed "yes", but some trends are pointing in that direction. Space is different from earth's atmosphere, where you don't need to create vacuum and the near-zero gravity. Space provides some advantages in semiconductor fabrication. Space provides an environment, where some chip making processes can be skipped. Semiconductor chip fabrication is one of the manufacturing area, where a space-environment may suit better than earth. Vacuum and dust-free is must for semiconductor manufacturing.
John Vickers, the principal technologist in the area of advanced materials and manufacturing at NASA, quoted “Semiconductor technology and innovation are crucial for our nation’s future. NASA is interested to use its position as a global leader for in-space manufacturing to contribute to the advanced technologies and our next-generation workforce that are essential to support these national efforts.” at world’s first roadmapping workshop for semiconductors held in July 2023 at the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering at Purdue University. Author TJ Triolo in an article writes "Manufacturing microelectronics in space has the potential to eliminate key lengthy and costly steps in the semico...
