High NA 248nm wavelength steppers with full tricks ( OPC, PSM, off axis illumination)will do the bulk of the work at 100 nm node. The limited supply (production sold out-lol) of 193 steppers will be used for key layer(s) like gate in mix and match mode. This is not new news-just spun well.ASML recently had a release on 248 for 100nm. siliconstrategies.com 157nm exposure is even later although we were expecting it by now. Moores laws lives and it seems "optics forever". Good trading/investing TI2 PS-When I was a newbie fab rat 20+ years ago, we thought we needed xray to break thru 1 micron barrier. The joke became, "x ray-the technology of the future and it always will be" unless you rename euv- another great spin. PPS-back to stealth mode
