Beyond ASML: China rethinks EUV race with light-source strategy
What the source reported
Source-reportedChina is trying to broaden the definition of the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) race. Rather than focusing only on building a domestic equivalent to ASML's lithography platform, Chinese researchers are exploring alternative EUV light sources that could improve energy efficiency, support semiconductor metrology and eventually provide new options for advanced lithography.
