Might be an interesting paper about SSMB:

It's all technobabble and gobbledygook to me, perhaps @FairAndUnbiased could make sense of it. But I did gather that their proposed device would use a 2.1 megawatt radio-frequency driver to generate 2.5 kilowatts of EUV radiation (for comparison, LPP generates EUV light in the hundreds of watts).

The authors note that this setup is possible with current technology. My question is what percentage of that technology is securely available in China.

Most countries generally find international partners for such large facilities to share costs. Rarely does anyone go all in by themselves. If it is only 2.5 kW then it is currently quite low. It need to be at least 10kW to stand a chance . ASML already has 1kW LPP light source in their roadmap.

The technology required is basically electromagnet fabrication, RF electronics, cryogen handling for said electromagnets and vacuum systems, the rest is just software. These are all things that China can do in houses so only the core tech needs to be developed, not the foundational tech.

Not really, only European countries need to due to low budget. I already showed you the cost of the entire Shanghai synchrotron was equal to the cost of a single EUV instrument.

    As a reminder : WE are the ONLY country that has ever DEFINITELY been caught snooping on everyone else's electronic communication...and yet here we are trying to punish someone else...and that's ONLY based on an ACCUSATION that has NEVER BEEN PROVED (unlike what happened to us). As for the international lobbying to boycott Huawei...OK...BUT...it should also be within every other country's rights to ask us to fund THEIR replacement of Huawei equipment...AND...(because there is definitive proof regarding OUR spying)...that funding should HAVE TO be directed to domestic manufacture for each and every country effected by our demands. They WOULD be within their rights.

    We will know if Congress agrees to this only after they have made "personal investment's" in the companies to be funded! Vote- "No Incumbent's" and stop the Insider Trading and Immunity from Federal Law!
