actually you are correct. they come up with the formula using the tools at hand from the actually manufacturer (sony semiconductor) and their engineers with their "imagineering" and you have the sensor that has a sony semiconducter name on its back and nikons IP in it.
they are not going to build a foundry for the sort of output they need. they do make the the litho systems for said manufacturing. gee, i wonder who sony gets their litho equipment from? (just a question)
Yes, Sony does have some Nikon lithography equipment in its foundry as confirmed by many sources. Sony also cross licenses some Nikon technology. Nikon is not without technical resources and abilities. Nikon's engineers are very competent as has been proven over the years.
It is worth noting that Nikons lithography equipment has recently listed zero sales. That is correct absolutely no revenue generated by that division. This is likely the result of competition form other companies, and the Covid-19 crisis. In any case it is also an unhealthy division at this point.
