The Extreme Physics Pushing Moore’s Law to the Next Level

I don't understand callous contempful comments against Intel's manufacturing capabilities. There are incredible people making things possible fomr both sides in one of the most advanced manufacturing processes in the world. I've worked inside a fab and I can tell you that the industry is much more appreciative of each other's competitors than the outside fanboys who are largely pissed off at the executive decisions (lawsuits , etc). This article is about TSMC's technical achievements and your comment has not added anything to the discussion, time and again I see this rooting for "underdog" behavior all too the same (just flipped the sides) from 2006. I wrote about it here: [LINK] If you'd like to know what goes into shriking a process node from lithography standpoint, I implore you to watch this: [VIDEO] and be in complete utter awe... Tell me if they are "Sitting on their asses"?

Cant answer the question and my knowledge is only from 'one interested' but from how long (~20 years) it took to build the current EUV source and how complicated the alternatives look this is for sure no easy feat. Can recommend [1] as the title say about the light source. Very interesting even for a non professional (and [2] as on high level overview of the machine and [3] as longer documentation inside ASML).

This was also a cool video I saw recently about lithography with plasma lasers [VIDEO] around 7:14 in particular
