    A joke aside? The American institute of "micro equipment development" made a copper thread so small, it's barely visible with a microscope. They believed that they had created the thinnest metal object ever. But they couldn't be sure. So they send out 3 of them by mail to the other 3 best institutes of the same level in the world. One in Japan, one in the Switzerland and one in Germany. The Swiss people returned the package, stating that they can create a thinner object, but not made of metal. The Japanese package came back after a week, stating that they had tried to create a replica, but didn't succeed. After 2 months, the German package came back with just the original thread in it. And a letter. "Hey folks, we didn't know why you've sent us this or what we're supposed to be doing with it. So we had some fun and drilled a few holes in it. Greetings."

    *Please correct this clickbait title.* As a former scientist at Zeiss who contributed a tiny bit to the development of Zeiss' EUV projection optics, I have to say the title is clickbait. While EUV technology is an important step forward, civilization would not collapse without it because a lot can still be achieved with VUV multiple patterning. Zeiss has competitors like Nikon at VUV wavelength of 193nm. The competition could eventually catch up if it enough reasons to do so.

What a way to talk down yourself instead of simply appreciating the compliment. I had to cringe at your comment. Of course all the haters and envious people are going to like your comment. You conveniently ignored the ´modern’ part of the title simply to have an excuse to talk negatively. So considering all of that I have to doubt that you’ve used to be an engineer at Zeiss, as your whole conduct then would be too strange to fathom. Not to mention that Zeiss has also been heavily involved in much of not all of the previous technological developments in that field. Even kinda sounds as if you’re rooting for others to catch up and finally‘ kick Zeiss out of it’s own field of technology and business.

    It all depends on your point of view. Who is the one to define when modern civilization started? Did it start with the steam machine? With electricity? Can you name a specific year? Most German‘s are not superficial. We usually consider somebody a friend after being very close to that person for years, a best friend for adults is usually somebody they have known for a decade. When Germans (almost) perfected something they are usually more relieved that it finally worked out than feeling the need to brag about it. You should also research the Kruger-Dunning-Effect. Then you will realize why true experts tend to downplay their work, knowledge and abilities while less experienced people think they know it all!

    I talked to an ASML employee about this topic somewhere around 2017 when I studied in the Netherlands. Using mirrors instead of lenses to focus the image on wavers for IC production. Even crazier, how they got the EUV emission in the first place. From what I recall, they would shoot a laser on a metal droplet which would then emit EUV as it vaporizes. It's like using a laser to create another laser, which requires fuel. That blew my mind.

    There are lasers using "fuel". Some are called "chem lasers" and it is not just science fiction. But why should they use mirrors instead of lenses. Don't they already use both? The lense is not for redirecting the laser, it is for downscaling the pattern perfectly even. If you don't have perfect surfaces of the lense, the end result will be bend and warped. I don't understand what the mirror has to do with it. The thing is, you want to have a big pattern lasered on a surface at once, not a laser that is super narrow and carves lines into a piece. Otherwise the production would take forever. It is like a LCD/DLP resin printer is competing with an SLA resin printer. They both have their place for a very specific type of work, but for mass production the sla would never be able to compete, even his high detail at printing can be much higher. BUT if you then put a lense on top of the lcd dlp printer it is even more detailed AND faster producing. With a zeiss lense, you could print much more detailed prints on a smaller scale. And that is in a way similiar how it works on asml machines in a way, but instead of using uv light for resin, you need euv light and different materials. And with a better mirror technology you might improve an sla printer. But you won't improve mass productive cpu manufactoring.

    In 1920, Dr. Royal Raymond Rife built the first virus microscope and by 1933, he had improved the technology and introduced to the world the Universal Microscope which had almost 6,000 different parts and was capable of magnifying objects 60,000 times their normal size! While attending Heidelberg University, Dr. Rife also worked with Zeiss Optics in the research, design, and production of fine microscopes. One of the most appealing features of the Universal Microscope was that it allowed one to observe samples in their natural state and in real-time, much like a movie, unlike the Electron Microscope which killed the specimen and only provided still images. Dr. Rife not only was able to view viruses, which could not be observed using previous existing technology, but he also could see them change their form in response to their environment and even transform normal cells into tumor cells, something that was not even imaginable at the time.

But even so, Zeiss, it seems, doesn't let just anyone near this technology regardless of qualifications. The vetting is extreme. For instance they questioned his family name. It's Slavic from one of our far in the past immigrated ancestors from Russia or somewhere like that. They wanted to know what friends he has, where he goes on vacation, if he has debts, what his hobbies are, what he thinks of the covid pandemic, what he thinks of the present global political situation and a whole lot more. One of the questions in the stack of forms asks what foreign languages he can speak, even rudimentary. He was going to write Mandarin - he took a course ages ago during his university days - but then decided not to mention is in case this arouses suspicion.

Case in point, I'm a self-employed engineering consultant who had worked for quite a few engineering companies before starting my own little business. I couldn't competently run such a business without all the things I learned in these companies. My broad engineering experience is what my customers pay for. And I'm still learning even today, having to learn because engineering technology is forever advancing and introducing new concepts. When I started there was no such thing as computer aided design or 3D printing, no CNC machines and cars didn't have electronics inside them. Through the years all that has kept me on my toes.

    Basically it's still the same what I heard in another video: Germany builds the things that goes into the things that goes into the things you are build. Yepp, the double inception level was fully intended. Those things are not irreplaceable or not copyable but they both difficult to replace, or difficult to copy. Because it takes a lot of time and know-how for even the production processes to be developed, much less the actual product. Yeah, those products are rarely flashy, or grab the international limelight. But they can be very important integral parts. As the Russians have discovered early in 2022 when Germany and the EU levied their first sanctions against them. Among those sanctions were the complete stop of German manufactured ball bearing balls. How's that important? Well, tanks run to n treads, treads run on a set of wheels, wheels run on pivoted axles, axles run on high precision and extremely durable ball bearing balls. Yeah, China produces similar ball bearings. Not as durable, not as precise, but cheaper. So when Russian tank manufacturing companies failed to source German made ball bearings they turned to the Chinese made counterparts. Well, the results have been obvious, right? With Russian tanks breaking down due to mechanic failures in the dozens. So what's the lesson? Don't piss off Germany if you can't build the stuff you buy here yourself or you don't have an equivalent product at standby. 😂😂

    What natural resources are you speaking of? Because in germany itself, its a widely-believed truism that the country is - compared to most other industrialized nations - rather poor in the natural resource sector. At least now, after 170 years of high-level industrial exploitation of said resources. It is believed that the most useful resource in international competiotion is its large, dedicated and largely free or cheap educational system (although that has suffered in recent decades), producing a large pool of highly skilled personell. Also, at ca 90 million (including non-citizens, of which there are 10% or more) its population isnt that small. About a fourth of the US at only 3.6% of its territory. Another definitive factor in Zeiss´s success is its economical structure, which is based not on a sharholder value system for the coordinating mother firm of the network, but a socialized foundation model. Which gives it the ability to invest long-term and often far beyond quarterly figures, and allows rather high wages that make recruiting and holding on to a higly skilled workforce easier.

    Germany is situated in the center of Europe - the part that's not Russian, at least. That part of Europe has a geography which favors cultural diversity and makes establishing one single huge empire, like the Chinese or the Russian ones, difficult. (That may be an explanation why Rome never advanced all the way to Scandinavia - and also why, unlike China and Russia, who systematically assimilated or exterminated the populations they conquered, Rome upheld the cultural diversity of their subjects.) This gave rise to distinct communities, with different likes and skills, which developed different crafts and knowledge all over Europe - the non-Russian part. With Germany sitting in the middle, all exchanges of technology and culture across the continent went over Germany. This transformed Germany into a hub and a keeper of technical knowledge long before the industrial revolution started in England. This, IMO, explains why Germany was and continues to be one of the most technologically advanced nations on earth - it's inertia, they've been doing it for centuries already 😁

Crazy! :D Silicon dioxide is even worse, because it's brittle like glass and I can't reforge it. If I dropped it on the floor it would be lost and I would be buying a new piece. One elegant method to add lithography directly to silicon is to add surface defects, scratches, with an atomically small silicon nitride cantilever and recrystallizing the surface.

    1) Modern Civilization wouldn't collapse. It would take some steps back. Modern civilization didn't begin on 1996 or 1984, let alone with the newest computers on 2022. For young people this may sound credible, for older generation this is BS, of course. 2) There are more than 200 unique purveyors of extremely complex and very dedicated technologies that are important for modern computers, many are in the Netherlands, others in Germany, others in the USA. Each plays a role in the whole ASML machine miracle, it's not like one country has the monopoly on the beautiful house of cards that is such extremely complex products. 3) Again, if China could replicate the technology in 10 years or so (or the USA or other countries, varying in years) it's not "the collapse of modern civilization". What happens is that we are too accustomed to advances that never stop or turn back. Yet the Concorde was cancelled. Sometimes things don't work or suffer some delays. Wars in the past had those halting effects (yet also wars introduced technologies that were so far lingering on some people's imaginations) as did economic crisis.

    It is imperative to note that when China feels backed into a corner by sanctions and perceives the chip embargo as a existential threat to its sovereignty, it will undoubtedly employ a whole-of-nation approach to develop its lithography machines, regardless of the cost. The notion that it will take China decades to develop its lithography machines is a private enterprise mindset. The reality is that China treats this domestic lithography machine as its version of the Manhattan Project, then the timeline for achieving its domestic EUV lithography technology will be much shorter than decades. China has a vast pool of scientists, technicians, and engineers at its disposal. When China combine the effort of private companies, state agencies, and university R&D centers together. It would be a force to reckon with…

    Ever-decreasing feature size runs into other limits around 3mm. Once the number of atoms decreases to the point where transistor gates are only a few atoms wide or thick, the electronic performance suffers from leakage and capacitive coupling. Let's not forget the quantum effects either. At that size, the virtual size of electrons depends on their energy. It doesn't take much energy to tunnel across a barrier only 2 or 3 atoms thick. You make this work by continuing to lower the voltage, but that only takes you so far. I am frankly surprised that 3nm chips are even possible. I would have believed that the issues encountered at 5mm would have been critical enough to stop the development of chips with smaller dimensions. The trick in my estimation is cooling methods and much more complex chips. It is better by far to make 5mm chips with a high yield than 3mm chips with a minuscule number of usable ones at the end.
