Names like $Onto Innovation(ONTO.US) / $Camtek(CAMT.US) go brr. Throw in $TOWA (6315), since there's indication of aggressive memory production ramp.

Names like Msscorps / $Keysight Tech(KEYS.US) should go brrr.

Broader upstream yields, test, validation, and inspection for both memory + optical ecosystem go heavily BRRR. And it's a leading indicator for $Coherent Corp.(COHR.US), $Fabrinet(FN.US), $Lumentum(LITE.US), and others if they're ramping up production.
