- the8472 9y agoThis uses tin plasma generated by laser pulses. No particle accelerators involved. One could build an EUV source based on a free electron laser too, which involves a particle accelerator, but I assume that has some limitations that make it less suitable for lithography.

- macawfish 9y agoHave you heard of Rayton Solar? They are supposedly slicing nanometer thin silicon with a particle accelerator. I don't know how hard it'd be to extend this to lithography though...
