The Impossible Machine - Vaporizing tin to print advanced microchips

📟 The Unreasonable Machine: ASML and the Invention of EUV 1 source This transcript explores the extraordinary engineering behind Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, a technology essential for maintaining Moore’s Law by creating increasingly smaller microchips. It details how the Dutch firm ASML successfully commercialised a process once deemed impossible by utilizing tin plasma explosions to generate light forty times hotter than the sun. The narrative highlights the decades of persistence required from visionary scientists to develop atomically smooth mirrors and high-precision lasers capable of hitting thousands of droplets every second. By achieving an overlay accuracy of just a few atoms, these machines allow for the mass production of the world’s most advanced processors. Ultimately, the text serves as a tribute to the unreasonable people whose long-term dedication to complex physics has shaped the modern digital landscape.
