Plans to shrink particle accelerators by 1000x could speed chipmaking by 15X - Inversion Semiconductor proposes 'tabletop' particle accelerators with petawatt lasers

Inversion Semiconductor, a 2024 startup backed by Y Combinator, aims to develop a compact, LWFA-based light source that 10 times more powerful than ASML's current EUV light sources while also targeting even shorter wavelengths.
