Xougang - <"Jerry said SRAM yields were as high on wafers with copper back-ends as the best they had ever seen with aluminum back-ends. Not "copper backings". Nothing in his statement suggests one layer of copper only.">

This makes more sense. "Backend" is fabspeak for interconnect layers, usually all of them.

I do have one more question. Did Jerry really say the Cu yields were better than Al? I find this incredibly hard to believe, unless AMD's Al process really sucks.
