but 6nm without EUV?

I read elsewhere that 5nm was already done (in the lab, not on industrial levels), and they're planning on 3nm by 2026.

The workaround seems to be to use particle accelerators instead of EUV machines. More expensive and with lower yield, but it'll do the job.

Yes 5nm should be ready this year, and allegedly Huawei is planning a 3nm product to be produced by SMIC already next year!
That's a very bold schedule, but maybe they expect to have something close to ASML EUV soon?
