But they will have to deal with it at this level of a new cold war. I would also add the death penalty for importing foreign smartphones on the black market.
LMAO, this is insane
If you know anything about how synchrotron’s scale up energy output you’d know why table top synchrotrons don’t generate that much power. You’re not really resolving the size to output ratio problem.
Then what about the conclusion reached by the authors of the research paper? "We report that SCR is suitable for EUV lithography (EUVL) because the spectrum is monochromatic, the radiation angular spread is as narrow as 20×5 mrad2, and the emitter size can be 0.01×3 mm2"
Do you think
Economic competition is good, actuallyDo you thinkwill willingly buy an inferior smartphone in the case of the American total ban against Chinese smartphone makers? Check Q1 stats for apple revenue in China after the Huawei ban.
If the USA attacks, China has to answer, in that case making enough demand for Chinese inferior chips.
They’re talking about the appropriateness of the photon emissions, not industrial feasibility. Science papers don’t draw conclusions about the latter. There’s a reason this paper is a decade old and we don’t see anyone pursuing synchrotrons as a viable EUV light source. Synchrotrons were looked at as a potential EUV source at the start of EUV development and they were abandoned pretty quickly as a viable commercial path for a reason. I’m not ruling out innovation in this space changing that, but my point is that viable application of this technology is much further away than some people here are fantasizing. The timelines don’t match up for China to become self sufficient in commercially viable EUV lithographs, especially given that there are only so many node iterations EUV will be usable for before that technology also taps out its potential.
