China is exploring the use of a new extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source in making its own lithography facility but technology experts said such an ambitious goal may take many years to achieve. …
This will be an incredible development when they pull it off. It seems murky to me how semiconductor shrinks will be pulled of after the next few, but this could really change things.
I expect that the next big development is going to be using alternative substrates that have different physical properties from silicon. For example, Chinese researchers recently showed that they can produce a 12 inch wafer using a 2d material. At this point it’s really a question of how long it’s going to iron out the process to put it into mass production. Chips made using alternate substrates have the potential of making silicon look like vacuum tubes.
