China Claims A Breakthrough In Silicon Photonics As It Tries To Circumvent US Export Controls On EUV Lithography

When you continuously throw billions of dollars of funding at a persistent problem, chances are that you’ll eventually succeed. This has been China’s playbook all along to try to find a way to declaw US export restrictions that have virtually eliminated the Asian giant’s access to the cutting-edge Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. However, a recent development in the emerging field of silicon photonics has now reportedly advanced China a significant step closer to achieving self-sufficiency in the chip fabrication arena. For the benefit of those who might not be aware, silicon photonics uses light in the infrared spectrum instead of […]
