China may have just cracked one of the biggest technological chokepoints in the semiconductor industry. Inside a Shenzhen lab, engineers have reportedly built a homegrown EUV lithography prototype capable of generating stable 13.5 nm extreme-ultraviolet light and sending it through a domestic optical system. Unlike ASML’s commercial EUV machines, which use laser-produced plasma (LPP), China’s prototype is built around a different approach called laser-induced discharge plasma (LDP). In this video, we break down how China’s EUV machine works, why its LDP light source is mechanically simpler, how domestic multilayer mirrors are being used in place of Zeiss optics, the helium and supply-chain bottlenecks still holding the technology back, and why China does not necessarily need to beat ASML to score a major strategic win. We also compare China’s reported 100–150 watt prototype with ASML’s much more powerful commercial systems, explain why throughput matters so much, and explore how even a
