The DoE funded initial research in to EUV via the national labs and EUV LLC back in the 90s. The IP was licenced to ASML, whilst Canon and Nikon (the leaders in lithography at the time) were blocked.
- Tostino 2y agoPeople in government in the 90s made a good call, and we haven't done anything since then to ensure it actually played out, until the post WW2 world order was already extremely unstable. We have had multiple rounds of "why are we paying for any of this?" In our federal government since then.
