How this measure is built
- Definition
- Capital expenditure on advanced-process (7nm and below) wafer fabrication equipment in the region.
- Measure
- One slice of Capital investment ( form: level, segment: advanced node equipment ) . Total monetary funds invested in capital assets, facilities, or infrastructure. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- 1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
