Chinese semiconductor thread II

It kind of depends if Chinese plus partner nations companies can secure a strong enough voting block to get extensions etc approved. You don't want to implement an extensions v0.8 just to have the US plus Allies block vote in a different implementation for the same functionality because they have more voting power. Or if they keep on delaying your proposals because they can organize meeting agendas.
The nice thing about open source is that you can always fork.

Customer pain points:

The core component of an ion beam polisher is a focusable high-energy ion source . However, the principle and structure of this type of ion source are extremely difficult, and it can only be imported from abroad for a long time . Customers have to endure extremely unreasonable prices and extremely long delivery times . Boden's DISE DC ion source was born for this purpose, achieving a breakthrough in the localization of this type of ion source, while also completing innovations such as ultra-long working hours and portability .​

Typical applications: DISE DC ion sourceplays a key role in the ultra-precision processing of core key components of lithography machines and laser gyroscopes .
The core equipment for chip manufacturing is the photolithography machine, and the optical . The surface processing of the lens with this precision must be ion beam polished and shaped before coating can be carried out.


Gyroscopes are the core components of inertial navigation systems, and they mainly include wound gyroscopes, electrostatic gyroscopes, laser gyroscopes, fiber optic gyroscopes, and micromechanical gyroscopes. Among them, laser gyroscopes have always occupied a dominant position in the field of high-precision control. The optical lenses in laser gyroscopes have extremely high requirements for their surface shape, and their accuracy determines the navigation accuracy and success . They must also be shaped and polished with ion beams.​
