In that case 1MW doesn't sound like a whole lot to be worth optimizing for.

- HarHarVeryFunny 2y agoAccording to Claude, that's about $1M/yr of electricity, assuming 24x7 usage. I assume the real saving is on the cost of the machine in the first place, and again relying on my AI buddy Claude: Let me break down the costs of both Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) and Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines: NIL Machine Cost: Basic NIL systems: $1-3 million Advanced NIL systems (like those from Canon/Molecular Imprints): $10-15 million EUV Machine Cost: Current ASML EUV systems (like the NXE:3400C): Approximately $150-200 million per unit Latest generation ASML EUV systems (NXE:3600D): Over $300 million per unit Installation and support infrastructure can add $30-50 million ** So, looks like $200M+ saving going with NIL vs EUV.
