From Silicon to Sovereignty: How Advanced Chips are Redefining Global Dominance


Recent breakthroughs in machine learning have dramatically heightened the demand for cutting-edge computing chips, driving advancements i...

As nations vie for dominance in computing power, control over this supply chain has emerged as a strategic priority, featuring prominently in a high-stakes competition with global implications. We will explore each critical stage in this complex process, beginning with the refinement of ultrapure quartz and progressing through wafer production to the advanced lithography techniques that enable feature sizes down to just a few nanometers—all executed not merely in a laboratory but at an industrial scale that pushes the boundaries of what is technologically possible. EUV lithography not only represents the core technological challenge in chip fabrication but also holds a pivotal position in the global semiconductor supply chain, placing it at the intersection of scientific innovation and international politics.
