How does a particle accellerator power a chip factory??

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The particle accelerator is meant to produce the ultraviolet radiation used in the EUV lithography. It's half avoiding ASML patents and half for future proofing since it has some benefits to the laser-tindroplet method of UV production in future speculative lithography processes.
