Let's try again , but with numbers.
(1) For years Micron has used 6 inch
They have learned and now get 85% yield.
(2) Now the numbers 100 times .85 = 85 good units.
(3) One day they stop, change to 8 inch and start again.
(4) With 8 inch it is 184 units
(5) But problems with yield which is only 50%
(6) 184 times .50 = 92 units
(7) Net increase 85 to 92 = 7 more units
(8) That is not 84 units !
(9) Last quarter number of units actually dropped by 12 %
(10) This quarter ??? June 14, 1996 we find out !
(11) One more thing , Some plants have batches containing
25 wafers. So some could be still 6 inch and some now 8
inch. But it is just one of those unanswered questions.

PS: Maybe CEO and CFO know the answers and sold????
