This is the worst report ever. None of this is unique to IBM. In fact almost all of the research is based on Bruce Smiths work at RIT. We pretty much pioneered immersion litho there. Using other immersion fluids besides DI water has been a common research topic throughout the industry for a couple of years now. The real cutting edge research is in solid state immersion, where the light is refracted through a solid crystalline structure like a ruby or sapphire.

There is nothing new about this technology. This has also somehow made the front page about 3 times.
