Why this is a big deal:
Right now the only way to make "bright" EUV (100-200 watts) is to spray fine drops of a metal in a stream, then target and blast each drop with a laser.
pretty wild way to make light.
- TheJoeMan 8mo agoAnd they’re now going to hit each drop three! times instead of two, and increase to 100,000 drops per second. Very hard to imagine.
- ufmace 8mo agoIf you wrote a science fiction novel around the idea that we make computing devices by blasting fine drops of tin in a vacuum with a laser exactly 3 times at exactly 100,000 drops per second, nobody would believe it. Truth is crazier than fiction.
- mptest 8mo agoWhat's even crazier is the technological pursuit of EUV and what a moonshot it was. Chip wars by chris miller chronicles it and it is absolutely crazier than sci fi.
