@nataliefratto: “This technology is straight up impossible” That’s what naysayers say to new American semiconductor company Substrate. Led by a Thiel fellow and backed with $100M, they are tacking perhaps the hardest part of the chip making process - lithography - using a novel technology using x ray light and particle accelerators that they hope will unseat both ASML and TSMC on the path to (re) building American chip foundry dominance. #techtok #Tech #startup #news #data
Hmmm backed by Peter Thiel and considered secretive. Something stinks

Also worth mentioning is that TSMC dominance is from their decades of experience of manufacturing. They've become highly efficient allowing them to be incredibly nimble with R&D to production.

Just one clarification: the current EUV process uses the laser to vaporize the droplets of tin. That’s what generates the EUV light.
