Not to pick a quarrel, but the points you raised vis a vis that article can be addressed as such: gap-filling: as this is a liquid, it will have superior characteristcs compared to current methods thermal stability: silanes are inherently more stable than current materials used. moisture and adhesion: as above, silanes are known to be among the best materials in these qualities as well -- and one of the few that are truly usable and marketable. adhesion: this formula seems to have adequate, if not superior adhesive properties low-toxicity: not really an issue. The chemicals currently used aren't exactly fit for the dinner table. need for CMP: as per the press release, this formula should elimate the need for CMP in many cases. The big question, sportsfans, is whether this technique is reliable in mass-production scenarios. An additional concern could, perhaps, be the company's relatively small manufacturing capabilities. In any case, this is a legitimate scientifc breakthrough. As to whether or not it will be a financial windfall... no body makes money in situations where there is no uncertainty...
