Mature/legacy node semiconductors are of two types: (1) older generations of logic technology with larger node sizes, and (2) specialty technologies built on top of mature nodes with special abilities (higher voltages, higher power, radiation hardness), and specialty technologies are not 'easy' to make but require extensive R&D efforts, making their production in the US a complex economic problem.
