Greg, That's what they did is develop a layer to isolate the copper from the rest of the chip. This layer cost money and DRAM manufacturers are running such tight margins that it may not be cost effective. Also IBM is stating multi metal layer chips (6-7). Most DRAM manufacturers use no more than 3 metal layers. Chipworks lists one of Micron's 16Mbit DRAMs as using 1 metal layer. Why add more layers to the chip than needed... Meg Stewart
