(...) Unlike ASML’s LPP (laser-produced plasma) method, which relies on high-energy lasers and complex FPGA-based controls, the report indicates that China’s LDP (laser-induced discharge plasma) offers a simpler design, smaller footprint, better energy efficiency, and potentially lower production costs.
