Great explainer here Sam. I don't know how you keep up with all of these tech pathways. A decade or so ago, I lamented the end of Moore’s Law and the fact that we were approaching the limits of how small we could produce transistors.
Today I celebrate the power of innovation and how, despite the challenges, we have continued to see improvements in computing capability despite growing physical limitations.
I think this is one of the most exciting times to be in semiconductors. The field is at a crossroads technically, geopolitically, and economically. Since current techniques are hitting a wall, we'll hopefully see people trying some really unique approaches!

Innovation is hard.

It would be easier to read if there was a more detailed explanation of the concept of photolithography itself.
Thanks for the feedback! I added a little more explanation at the beginning but I don't think I can really do it justice.
