EUV lithography vaporizes tin droplets with lasers 50,000 times a second
Molten tin droplets are hit twice by a laser (once to flatten, once to vaporize) to make plasma that emits 13.5 nm light. Everything after that has to be mirrors in a vacuum because EUV is absorbed by nearly everything, including air.
