Patterning the next node.

Sovereign Lithography is building the machines that print the world's most advanced chips. We work on EUV, X-ray and new approaches that question how lithography has always been done, and we design every machine to make each wafer cheaper to print.

Technology

Smaller features. Lower cost per wafer.

Every step down in wavelength lets a lithography tool print finer lines. We are working at and beyond the EUV frontier, and we judge every design by what it costs to pattern a wafer, not only by how small a line it can print.

13.5nm

EUV

Extreme ultraviolet lithography, the light source behind today's leading-edge chips. Reflective optics, vacuum beam paths and multilayer mirrors throughout.

~1nm

X-ray

Wavelengths an order of magnitude shorter than EUV, with the potential for finer resolution and new ways to form an image.

∞new physics

Beyond

Approaches that challenge the accepted roadmap. We test ideas the industry set aside and build the ones that hold up.

Why sovereign

The world's chips rest on one tool.

Leading-edge lithography comes from a single supplier today. Every advanced fab, and every country that wants one, depends on that one source for its most critical machine.

We think the industry needs more than one path to the next node. Sovereign Lithography exists to build that path: independent machines, designed from first principles, for the fabs and nations that need them.

We are building in America, for American independence in semiconductors and for its allies, with a goal of a U.S. chipmaking ecosystem that leads the world by 2050.
