After cars, rockets, and humanoid robots, Musk is now turning his attention to the core area of chip manufacturingEUV light sources. Compared to the currently mature and commercially available LPP technology, Musk has shown a clear preference for free electron lasers. Theoretically, free electron lasers can significantly reduce the production costs of advanced chips, but they are still in the early stages of research and development.
