Summary

Pat Hindle talks with Herbie Smith of TAU Systems about the the world's first commercial laser-driven compact particle accelerator technology from TAU Systems that could fundamentally transform semiconductor manufacturing economics while enabling the next generation of chip fabrication. It would replace the light source on very large and expensive EUV systems currently defining the smallest geometries for high-performance ICs.
