intel has stated several times that the 0.13u process will be Copper, not Aluminum, so this statement is irrelevant. SemiconEng, Huh? You're saying Intel is not planing to go to .13um on Al at all? Who said that intel is using the same Copper process that IBM and AMD is using? You seem to be assuming that the only way to do a copper process is the IBM/AMD/Motorola way. There are other ways to do it. Maybe intel has developed a different way. The point I was making is that it took IBM and AMD forever to Cu working. Regardless if this is a different process, I don't think it will run smooth at first, at least not in 2001. Or maybe Craig Barrett has a little better insight into intel's copper process development than you do. Also, it would be foolish to mix Copper and Aluminum processes in the same Fab. The contamination issues would be a nightmare. Duh? That's why I said from combined fabs, I was assuming one on Cu and one on Al, but you are telling me that Intel is only going to .13um on Cu. Mr. Barrett's insight should obviously by taken as written in stone given Intel's performance this year. chic
