steps for a single layer, which made it possible to

halve (or further reduce) the minimum pitch. Exposing
photoresist more than once also made it possible (from what I can tell) to use all the special
techniques (off-axis illumination, immersion, RET), which otherwise constrain masks to being only
horizontal or only vertical.
\item Self-aligned mutli-patterning techniques cannot really lay down
``holes'' in lines; these holes have to be added later.
As a result, layouts of modern CPUs are very regular,

From the ``Rosetta Stone of Lithography'' it looks like with true double patterning,
the smallest we can get is the 10nm node (50nm pitch).
However, the Breakfast Bytes article, right after saying 50nm is the smallest
pitch we can get with double patterning, brings up SADP, which is also
double patterning, but can go as low as 40nm. In the Rosetta Stone,
however, 40nm seems to correspond to `Higher-order pitch division', and not
double patterning, so I still think 50nm pitch / 10nm node is the answer here.
\section*{Q7}
We use tin plasma! Apparently, tin is ``fairly efficient'' at converting laser
light into EUV.
