That specific shrinking process requires ASML's most advanced, heavily backlogged EUV machinery. GaN operates under a different set of physical rules. It can handle significantly higher voltages, temperatures, and frequencies than silicon. Because of these inherent material advantages, highly efficient GaN chiplets can be manufactured on slightly more mature nodes using widely available Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) lithography equipment. By leaning heavily into GaN architectures, TERAFAB can side
