Transistors are semiconductor switches. So no, that’s not how superconductors work. Superconductors use a Josephson Junction.

Semiconductors get hot and break down if you run them too fast, they age. RTSC’s do not have these limits.

We wont use LK-99, we will probably find a dozen RTSC’s by xmas. People are already looking past LK-99 for better ones.

last question then (thanks already in clearing some of my doubts)

silica transistors are about to become old tech?

how would rtsc affect the current tech? is lithography becoming old tech?

is tsmc with their current billions of dollars worth of tech in a position where they need to reinvent themselves (in a few decades) or is their expertise transferrable to the new materials?

Skills and experience probably transfer, plant and IP not so much.

Rarely do incumbents companies emerge in a new paradigm in good shape.

New capital will just form without their plant debt and hire their staff.
