AFAIK Intel does not use pods. I doubt they can mix copper and aluminum backend processing in the same fab. I'm not sure I understand that idea. How exactly is copper supposed to contaminate the aluminum process? I could see how copper or aluminum could contaminate a chip if somehow it gets on the wrong spot, but isn't that type of thing what clean rooms and expensive handleing and processing machinery is supposed to prevent. Any substance applied at the wrong time or the wrong place could cause problems but if they can prevent that from happening in a "aluminum fab", or a "copper fab" why would it happen in a mixed fab?
