There's plenty of talk about how copper, 300mm and 0.13 technology will smooth the cycle and save the day. This is probably true to some degree, but I wonder how many companies will be willing to spend the big bucks on equipment for this stuff at this time. These are new technologies and often don't provide a return on investment for quite some time. It's going to be hard for many to justify the expense when the industry outlook is at best questionable.
