I think the LPP solid state lasers are more SIOM's wheelhouse, judging from the patents.Can we infer from this that CIOMP's prototype uses a CO2 MOPA laser and not a fiber laser?

But keep in mind that SMIC has stocked up many scanners and imported many in the past few months. They are not short on ASML scanners!
At this point, I'm not too excited about SSA800. I assume it will be ready for HVM at some point. If ASML is not allowed to sell to certain fabs in China, then SMEE will have the entire market to themselves.
The ones that we really are waiting on are:
1) de-americanized 14 and then 7nm process
2) EUV
3) DDR5 + HBM
We are lucky if the SSA800 becomes HVM qualified in 2 years.I am excited about the SSA800, in just two years the more advanced SSA900 will come out and match ASML 2050i which enable China to produce 7nm 100% at home.
its already more than a year since Machine is verifying. so probably will take one more year.We are lucky if the SSA800 becomes HVM qualified in 2 years.
what do you mean by operational ? SSA800i is undergoing testing and verification.Is there any solid proof that SSA-800 is being delivered and is now operational. Because so far it seems to me that SSA-800 is MIA.
