Gelonghui, July 13 | According to Science and Technology Daily, the surge in AI technology has driven strong demand for advanced chips, yet global chip supply remains constrained by the technology and production capacity of only a few companies. In a recent report, Forbes.com noted that as emerging technologies continue to rise, the global approach to manufacturing cutting-edge chips is expected to undergo a major transformation by 2030. Although extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is currently dominant, it is not the only method for ‘drawing’ microscopic transistors onto silicon wafers. A new generation of forward-looking lithography technologies is poised to emerge, potentially replacing EUV lithography and reshaping how advanced chips are manufactured. Atomic lithography abandons ‘light’ and instead
