xLight’s Giant Machines & Ambitious Roadmap

[chainsniff]

xLight plans to build football-field-sized laser systems that sit outside fabs and deliver ultra-precise light as a utility. Their goal: produce first wafers by 2028 and deploy the first commercial system by 2029. They’re even collaborating with ASML to integrate with existing scanners — not compete with them head-on.

xLight’s scale is unreal—this roadmap is next-level.
