15W EUV light source demoed with 90% domestic components
The 15W output is a component milestone, not a fab option. The 90% domestic figure narrows the supply-chain question.

The Tom's Hardware page reports a Chinese startup demoed a prototype EUV light source. The output is 15W. Ninety percent of the components are domestic.
The 15W figure shows a source can emit light. It does not show a scanner can expose a wafer.
Die Brief treats the gap as the story. The source is a milestone at the component level. It is not a path to a fab.
The 90% figure signals a supply-chain shift. The missing optics, dose control, and tool integration are not named.
The page leaves open the startup name, demo date, wavelength, node, throughput, stability, efficiency, cost, and production timeline. None of those figures is in the packet.
For a buyer, the constraint is unchanged. No shipping EUV path is measured here.

After en.wikipedia.org. We did not report this. The pictures, if any, are theirs.
