I remember someone on here talking about this and they linked a couple of videos from a YouTube channel called Asianometry or something that explained the technology.
I can’t remember which videos they are though but if I recall, the reason for particle collider wafer manufacturing not being mainstream was because of requiring large infrastructure investment per factory.
It makes sense that China would pursue this as there isn’t as strong a push on profit motive as in somewhere like Taiwan or S. Korea.
That’s likely one big reason, the other was that all the machines were produced by ASML who wanted to be able to ship them to customers around the world. So, they focused on making them compact. Since China doesn’t care about the aspect of portability, they can take a different approach here.
But at what cost?
At great cost I presume, this sort of thing can’t be cheap
China… Oh… Did you hear about Chi-na building a giant chip factory?!? I heard that they’re even going to use a particle accelerator to build it! Isn’t that fascinating? Wow, just amazing! I wonder what a chocolate chip, or maybe a little butterscotch morsel would taste like made in a factory built with a particle accelerator? They’re particles would be faster, wouldn’t they? How could they not be?
