<Al: I don't believe that Intel is screening AMD from access to these nor from the latest advancements in litho equipment. Info on both techniques.> Thanks for the link. It provides a nice overview. Just for the record, I wasn't trying to imply any sort of "foul play" by Intel. I was simply saying that a shortage of equipment could hurt AMD. I don't agree with you about the current usage of PSM and OPC, though. See e.g. the following dated September 4 this year (also mentions DuPont Photomasks Inc): electronicnews.com I realize that PSM is certainly applied to some extent, but take the following from the above source: DPI and its customers believe altering aperture phase-shift masks will extend 248-nanometer lithography to the 0.13-micron node before 193nm lithography becomes widespread at the 0.13- and 0.10-micron levels with OPC and embedded phase-shift masks. Edit: So what I may have been referring to is embedded psm, although I'm not really sure what technical differences these terms cover. -fyo
