Although apparently the Dresden fab is particularly advanced in terms of isolating against contaminants. The chips are carried in a "pod" throughout the different processes. They may well be able to do Al and Cu on the same site.

I would guess that, while Cu is a better technology, .18 Al was more attainable in the short term. We will see .18 Al out of Fab 25 at least 3 months before .18 out of Fab 30 I believe?
