AI in Semiconductors
2026-09-27
What if the real breakthrough in AI hardware isn’t in the chip design—but in the laser that drills its interposers?
A new wave of ultrafast laser startups in Europe, backed by the EU Chips Act 2.0, is scaling production at an industrial level. Litilit plans to build up to 3,000 femtosecond lasers annually in Vilnius—enabling the precision manufacturing needed for 3D chip packaging. This isn’t just about sovereignty; it’s about building the physical layer of AI, one laser pulse at a time. The real story? Market demand is outpacing policy intent. Startups are being approached for use cases in 6G, quantum tech, and secure data transmission—applications that didn’t exist in their original roadmap. This is how infrastructure innovation creates unforeseen AI capabilities.
