Re: With SOI the situation is the opposite, since SOI will both increase cost per wafer and decrease yield

There is an article in the current issue of (I think it was) eetimes (that I can't find on line right now) that quotes a supplier of oxygen implantation equipment as saying that SOI can replace two mask stages otherwise needed after intermediate etching with the net result that SOI wafers are only 10% more expensive to process than plain wafers. The additional speed and reduction in power dissipation makes that well worth while.

I'll try to find it online somewhere - the hardcopy is at work.
