Musk Targets EUV Light Source: FEL Technology Gains Favor, Chip Costs May See Transformation

Bot Telegraph, August 11th — Following ventures into electric vehicles, rockets, and humanoid robots, Elon Musk is now entering a critical segment of semiconductor manufacturing: EUV light source technology. Sources indicate that Musk has shown a strong interest in Free Electron Laser (FEL) technology, which contrasts with the current mainstream Laser-Produced Plasma (LPP) light sources.

Theoretically, Free Electron Laser (FEL) technology has the potential to significantly reduce the manufacturing costs of advanced chips. However, this technology is still in its early research and development stages and is far from large-scale commercial application.
