- We give you two out of three rights. Agentic systems can access sensitive information, it can execute code, and it can communicate like ASML with EUV lithography machines, TSMC with advanced packaging like CoWoS, and SK Hynix with the high bandwidth memory?
And I was so inflamed by that comment that I went home and for the next 10 days, I wrote up a multi-page white paper. - He applied these mirrors to lithography , to print chips using x-rays. Around five months later, Andy presented his findings at a conference.
This spelled disaster for the big chip companies like Intel. The industry estimated that the 193 nanometer lithography tools would fall behind Moore's Law by 2005, but there were no other alternatives. So Intel, Motorola, AMD and other companies got together and invested $250 million to keep it going, making it the largest investment ever
photography commanded a very high price and his uh photograph the one that we saw was copied by a lithography company in New York or Boston I think it was New York and widely distributed and sold for a much smaller amount it was a pricey copy in those those days I can't
and EUV's greatest champion. - And he is really like the Steve Jobs of lithography . And he saw EUV coming.
They would work together with their German partner, Zeiss, where Zeiss would take care of the mirrors, and ASML would focus on the light source. One of the first decisions when making any lithography system is deciding which wavelength to use. - In the early days, anything between five and 14 nanometers was explored.
She, out of college, I think it was, went into the military to crack codes. It was the early days of that stuff, lithography , on a very small scale.
And the government would then supply seed money. And so Bell Labs partnered with Andy's labs and two others to keep developing x-ray lithography . And by 1993, the first international conference for x-ray lithography was held in Japan, near Mount Fuji.

In the opening address, Kinoshita said that, "As long as we do not lose the desire that has sprung from within us,
to make it a fab-line reality. And so one by one, American companies walked away from developing a full EUV lithography machine. That left just one company, ASML.
That left just one company, ASML. ASML, which used to stand for Advanced Semiconductor Materials Lithography , is located in a small, nondescript town in the Netherlands. It spun off from Philips back in the '80s with little more than a shed and a barely working wafer stepper to its name.
and then we're going to go formal. So to fix ideas, start with an example, okay, which we're going to carry throughout. Think of having ASML. So this is the Dutch lithography firm, okay? They produce advanced machines for semiconductors. They have US suppliers and they have Chinese customers.
He got to work, and after around two years, his team designed and built three tungsten-carbon curved multi-layer mirrors to reflect 11 nanometer light. And with it, he managed to print lines four microns or 4,000 nanometers thick, proving that at least in theory, x-ray lithography was possible. A year later in 1986, he went to present his findings to the Japanese Society of Applied Physics.
In the opening address, Kinoshita said that, "As long as we do not lose the desire that has sprung from within us, technology will steadily advance from the micro to the nano to the pico." They even gave the technology a new name, extreme ultraviolet lithography , or just EUV.
We also tune a lot of the important properties for 3D printed parts. We've developed a new kind of 3D printer to make our polymers, following a process called SLA or stereo lithography . But we've used Texas Instruments DLP projectors.
