Petz - Re: ", losing one "lot" of wafers does not strike me as a disaster, if the source of the contamination was found."

One Lot ?

I heard AMD lost A MONTH's WORTH of WAFERS in Progress.

By the way - have you ever seen a fab while EVERY QUARTZ Diffusion/Oxidation TUBE is removed and TRASHED - and every process chamber is shut down, disassembled, cleaned, recleaned, and recleaned again, etc., etc.

Guess how much production goes on when this panic reaction takes place?
