Brian,

Not to worry, the semiconductor process is a very intricate
procedure. I don't see this as any threat and not commercially viable
in the near term, if ever. Some of the claims are "pipe dreams",IMO.
It is tremendously difficult to do lithography and dry etching on flat
wafers, a sphere would make it virtually impossible.

Just my opinion,
BB
