For example, back in 1999, there was a report from an analyst stating "Intel is abandoning its 'copy exact' manufacturing strategy. Where ever possible the manufacturing group is trying to qualify two vendors in order to win the best pricing. A second PVD vendor at Intel would likely knock as much as $1million off the $3-5 million average selling price of the Applied Materials system. We think that is reason enough for Intel to qualify Novellus assuming their tool is competitive" Were these plans cancelled? Could you please provide me with more recent links on Intel's copy exact methodology? This is itching me, because my brain is trying to get me to recall something similar, but from early this year. Ah, well.
