China startup demoes prototype EUV light source
Being unable to procure EUV litho tools from ASML, China must develop such systems locally, so from time to time we learn about an EUV-related 'breakthrough' in China that will turn into an actual EUV scanner over the following several years. This week, Chinese startup Langdao Silex demonstrated a prototype extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source with over 15W of output power, 90% domestic components, and decent uptime. The company will need another three to five years to commercialize its technology, reports TrendForce, citing various sources. Yet, a light source alone does not make an EUV scanner.
