It has its pros and cons. Pros are that it’s faster and uses less energy and no complex optics system. Cons are that they have to replace the masks fairly regularly because they degrade with each imprint made. This probably also means that yields are lower towards the end of the life of the mask.

Ok in a lab, but saying they will scale by 2027 is pure fiction.

Thanks. Oh yes, I heard about this technology (but not the latest update) from a youtube video. It’s completely insane!
