Thanks for that article, Brian. re: "We have a two-step situation, where we could decide whether to put [the process] on 8- or 12-inch." My (non-expert) understanding was that 8 and 12 inch fabs had to be designed differently from the start, because the equipment (and the space it takes up, and the relationship of the various machines) was so different. LSI seems to be saying a semi company can keep their options open, and decide between 8 and 12 inch in mid-project. I thought that one of the reasons that the transition to 300mm was going to be so lucrative for semi-equips, was that every piece of equipment had to be replaced.
