Rolf Bulk(@rolfbulk):Naura is bound to gain share, but in semicap share shifts are gradual. You cannot swap an Applied or Tokyo Electron tool with a Naura tool and expect identical performance. This is the crux of the Chinese semiconductor build-out; CXMT, Smic, YMTC will always prefer Western higher performance tools, as long as export restrictions allow for it.
