SMIC is testing the first Chinese-built immersion lithograhy machine

"This list is only partially complete. They excluded people like Burn J. Lin, who proposed immersion lithography in 1987, which extended Moore's law by six generations, and Morris Chang, who founded TSMC which provides the chips used by Apple, Qualcomm, Nvidia and more. Lin was born in Vietnam to parents who had fled China in 1941 due to the Japanese invasion. Chang was born in China. They excluded Yong Zhang, born in China, PhD at Caltech, who founded Access Laser, which provides the critical CO2 laser to Trumpf for use in EUV lithography. Trumpf supplies ASML which supplies TSMC. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more. All the work of these men are now under the control of xenophobic bureaucrats at the Bureau of Industry and Security in Washington, D.C." -
