You are right about kinetic energy having low effect. However, in microelectronics becomes an issue, called electromigration, where the material laters are so thin that this small effect of electrons on metal atoms (the electron wind force) causes erosion, basically, movement of atoms.

Figure 2. Schematic diagram illustrating the basic principles of electromigration (EM). The flow of electrons (blue arrows) exerts an electron wind force on metal ions (M⁺), causing them to migrate toward the anode. The red arrow indicates the direction of the electric field. The brown arrows show the direction of ion migration. Dashed circles represent vacancies left behind after the migration of metal ions. From: https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/14/15/3151

And the effects on the micro wires are. really something. This errosion takes time of course, but not as long and the effect rises exponentially at the end because the current density increases.

It kinda blew my mind during my elec. eng. studies. Anyway, just wanted to donate my two cents on this matter.

ASML is still a company that wants to sell its stuff and until EU starts building cutting edge chip fabs, the company will go where the market is, which is not in EU (except that one TSMC fab that is being built).

I cropped only top and bottom did not crop the image on the sides this is how it actually displays

You managed to glitch how Voyager app displays your comment with the emojis, bravo

I don’t know where you live, but i will find you and lick all your dirty fingers in a way you will find uncomfortable before you desecrate any more precious paperbacks
