<p>There was an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/asml-euv-machine-lithography-chips-967954d0?st=L9wryk&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">inspiring story</a> in today's WSJ about how a female STEM graduate got into the business of help maintaining the $100M+ machines.</p>
<p>The technology encompasses amazing optical precision:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><em>"ASML teamed up with a German optical company to develop mirrors so flat that if they were scaled up to the size of Germany itself, their largest imperfection would be less than a millimeter. </em><br /><em> </em><br /><em>The precision of EUV machines is comparable to directing a laser beam from your house and hitting a ping-pong ball on the moon."</em></p>
