China Builds the Light Source ASML Refused to Build

China Builds the Light Source ASML Refused to Build China is pursuing a radically different way to generate EUV light for advanced chipmaking—one that could challenge the technology built around ASML's machines. At the center is SSMB (steady-state microbunching), a particle-accelerator approach being developed around research at Tsinghua University. This video explains how EUV lithography, free electron lasers, SSMB, xLight, and KEK's energy-recovery approach could change the future of semiconductor manufacturing—and why China's restrictions on buying ASML's EUV systems make this technology strategically important.
