PB,

I steadfastly maintain
that Al is adequate for .18 interconnects. I believe AMD could have gone this route, but got sucked in by the Cu hype.

They wanted Dresden to be built for copper from the get-go. Not just for 0.18u, but also for future shrinks. Why build a brand new magafab for aluminum, only to have to convert it for copper after a year? I think they did the right thing.

Pravin.
