Abstract
EUV lithography is crucial for semiconductor manufacturing, with resolution affecting circuit size, performance and energy efficiency; however, it is also a highly energy-intensive process. This Comment discusses the potential of a simple two-mirror projector to tackle the longstanding issues of energy consumption and capital costs in existing EUV lithography technologies.
