I just listened to the conference call and will put up a summary on my site suite101.com. Major interest was the end when Art got excited about using their 1x steppers for solder bump technology where there is no competition. Users would have to buy new machines with new optics. The projects I was on at HP before "semiretirement" in Dec. were all going to use solder-bump technology for higher density in a small package. Art said major driver was lower overall package cost which agrees. Smaller packages are cheaper and hundreds of wirebonds on large chips are expensive! This process takes much energy which reduction steppers can't easily deliver hence Arts excitement for their 1x steppers.
