Commercialization of high precision magnets for maglev dual wafer stages for EUV lithography.

Wonder where the mechanical constraints are. By Earnshaw theorem, it is mathematically impossible for any 3D configuration of static magnets to be mechanically stable. To achieve mechanical stability there has to be a mechanical constraint like a mechanical bearing to prevent full 3D motion, or the configuration isn't static (i.e. the magnets are constantly being adjusted via feedback mechanisms).

Just from a brief lit review I think these are all active feed control mechanisms.

If the 5g chips are not integrated to SoC, what is the reason that Huawei phone didn't have 5g? Is it because of condition of buying Qualcomm chip that is imposed on Huawei?

So Prof where are we regarding the state of EUVL development progress?

Dual stage - Check

Power source- 2024 (LPP) 2025 (SSMB)

Lens and optic- Check

The only thing left is photoresist and mask? (both being tested in SSRF)
Assuming these remaining systems are quickly developed, what's the timeline for a commercial product? I've seen ∼2025 being the general consensus around here, taking into account the verification phase which should be around a year from the various comments.

Correct now SMIC is able to produce a 8nm N+1 chip with acceptable yield and Huawei can package it. I also learn that Huawei are able to source locally and produced themselves a 5g RF antenna.

I google the list budget 5g phones and then look at the processors for each of them, they use 7nm 6nm and 5nm process. I guess maybe 10 or 12nm can't support a 5g phone? (My phone is on 12nm process so I have no idea how do these advance phone feel like)
The cheapest 5g phone that I can find is around 150usd ( which is more expensive all phones that I have.)

I am just puzzle because I recall the Huawei phone from last year can turn to 5g by adding a case. So I thought the SoC isn't a constraint
