Dear Bill: From other discussions on this thread, the original and from other sources, what you want is called a "Hot Lot" or "Rocket Lot" depending on who you talk to. These can be done in 3 to 4 weeks from bare wafer to packaged die assuming SOI does not require any more time than a bulk silicon wafer would. Production starts almost after the time it takes to get a wafer through the 13 week normal speed process because its hard to ramp and determine bin splits from the "Hot" lots to what happens during normal production (this may be what happened to the 0.18u P3-1.13 and early "we will bury you" Coppermine 1GHz releases). Usually the production runs have a higher mean and peak speed and the yield is higher than the Hot runs but, you can't count on it as the Hot lot is babied (TLCed) through the steps. Anybody else with better info? Pete
