The housing market appears to have recovered from the depth of its decline. Toll Brothers (TOL) reported a whopping 46% jump in its latest earnings report and Home Depot's (HD) earnings soared 18%. Today the National Association of Realtors reported that April existing home sales surged to their highest level in more than three years.
There is some bad news mixed in with all of these housing numbers, April housing starts recently plummeted from a 48-month high and applications for home mortgages dropped for the second week in a row.

Furthermore, Kudlow repeats a mea culpa about U.S. monetary policy. “Bernanke was right,” he says. “He put the money in and those of us who expected inflation were wrong.”
In admitting as much (repeatedly), Kudlow shows he’s not doctrinaire about the best policy prescriptions or unwilling to let the facts get in the way of his opinions. In this regard, the conservative stalwart stands out from many others in the inflation camp.
SanDisk’s achievement of this breakthrough in semiconductor manufacturing takes its memory cell size from 19nm-by-26nm to 19nm-by-19.5nm, delivering a 25 percent reduction of the memory cell area and allowing SanDisk to continue leading the industry in building smaller, more powerful flash memory products.

SanDisk’s second-generation 19nm memory die uses the most sophisticated flash memory technology node to-date, including advanced process innovations and cell-design solutions. SanDisk's All-Bit-Line (ABL) architecture with proprietary programming algorithms and multi-level data storage management schemes help yield multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory chips that do not sacrifice performance or reliability. In addition, SanDisk’s three bits per cell X3 technology, implemented in the second-generation 19nm node will deliver the lowest-cost flash solutions to address multiple growing end-markets for flash memory.

CapEx explodes!!!
Litho's share grow much faster!!!
This is just the start!!!
The EUV/ArF age will be simply huge for Cymer!!!!
Overall, we expect growth in the semicap industry to be stronger in the next decades than it was in previous ones, whatever the evolution scenario we consider. At the same time, all process steps won’t benefit equally, there will be winners and losers […] Winning segments are process steps at the origin of the increase in cost per wafer: Lithography, Process Control. In addition, we see Wafer-level packaging as a long term winner as well. Losing segments suffer from the decline in wafer additions we anticipate under the combined effect of increasing costs per wafer and the 450mm migration: Etch, Clean and Planarization, Deposition, RTP/Oxidation, Ion implantation, Manufacturing Automation […] In our coverage, ASML [Holding NV (ASML)] is a structural winner and remains a top pick. Outside of our coverage, KLA Tencor (KLAC), Hermes, NuFlare, Rudolph, and Nanometrics (NANO) appear as standing to benefit from the mourning of Moore’s Law. For most other players, mourning Moore’s Law equates to a secular headwind. At first sight, if mourning Moore’s Law is about more expensive wafer starts, it can’t be bad for capital equipment spending as a whole. It isn’t indeed. We described in our Silicon War research last year how competition for manufacturing leadership structurally increased capital expenses at leading foundries and IDMs. Combined with the concentration of the industry, the picture is fairly impressive. Cumulated capex of the top 3 manufacturers reached ~$33bn last year, vs. an average of $13bn from 2004 to 2009 […] In sum, we expect Lithography and Process Control to grow at a much faster rate than the overall semi cap market.

You have heard all this before, but many of you don't believe this and are still arguing that moving to 28 nanometer or 20nm (still planar) will save ARM from the Intel bomb. Well, that's just wrong! Read on!
These two statements, above, are corollaries to laws of physics relating to silicon FET-based integrated circuits. In current technologies - 32 nanometer and smaller - constructed in a planar (TSMC) fashion, the predominant use of energy occurs as a result of leakage in inactive FETs. The FETs leak because they are running at low voltage, and in order to do that, they must have low threshold voltages. When you construct a FET with low threshold voltage in a planar technology, you can't completely turn it off. So it leaks.
When you construct a FET for the same use in a 3D or "finFET" technology, the gate (the valve that controls the flow of charge carriers) has much more effective control and is more nearly able to completely extinguish the leakage current in the inactive FETs. Voila, the battery charge lasts longer. And because the gate length is shorter, the FET uses less energy for each transition from one state to another. So you can squeeze more transitions from a given amount of stored energy in the battery, i.e. it runs faster.
It's the laws of physics that controls the winner in the processor race for mobile applications, and Intel has already won this race. Anyone who disagrees is in denial, has some ulterior motive, or is just dense.

While some international chipset vendors have recently placed followed-up orders for those they placed in the prior quarter, some Taiwan-based IC design houses have increased their orders for wafer starts by 30-50% sequentially in the second quarter, the sources revealed.
Backed up by the influx of new orders, TSMC is expected to see its revenues climb month by month in the second and third quarters, the sources commented.
International and domestic chipset vendors have begun to queue up at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in order to secure production capacity for 40nm, 28nm and more advanced processes, according to industry sources.
Order visibility of TSMC's 28nm and 40nm processes has extended to the end of the third quarter of 2013, and some clients have begun to book space for the additional capacity of advanced process nodes to be added by TSMC in the third quarter, the sources revealed.

TSMC's April wafer shipments are estimated at 1.317 million 8-inch equivalent wafers, representing a 10.5% sequential increase, buoyed by strong orders for 28nm chips placed by Qualcomm and MediaTek, said Digitimes Research. TSMC operated an about 97% utilization rate in April, up 6pp from 91% in March.
