Tsumoru Shintake, a professor at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), has created a new, simpler EUV lithography tool that is more affordable than ASML’s versions. If it enters mass production, it could transform the chipmaking equipment market and even the semiconductor industry as a whole.

This new system operates with just two …

Even they found simpler way to create EUV machines ASML is only manufacturer in the world that capable of building litography machines. I am not sure they can really make it simpler, or it should have widthdraws somehow.
