As reported by the EE Times, Japan’s Toppan Photomasks apparently brought in Sean Connery, or someone that looked like him, for a reception at the SPIE Microlithography event in San Jose. (SPIE, spy, 007…get it?) It’s still not certain whether the man was the genuine article, but if he were I suppose it’s a step up from literally dancing for Japanese whiskey.
The EE Times article does a good job of going over the progress of realizing immersion lithography, but I suppose it could be summed up in one simple word.
Wait.
