Brian,
thanks for posting this, I see it as a reality check for
all the "analysts" who are hyping capacity expansion needs
short term. Newer semi production technology will still be
the main equipment sales driver for a while, IMO. Once fabs
understand how to improve sub 0.25uM productivity and have
working pilot lines in place then maybe they will consider
building the next generation fabs. I still think profitability is the main goal for the majority of fabs at
this time.

JMO,
BB
