Brian, from Silicon Strategies of 3/1:

And, the death of Novellus' business at Intel Corp. has been
greatly exaggerated, according to Prudential. Rumors have
been flying around the industry for weeks that Intel selected
Applied Materials Inc. over Novellus for a big order of
copper-electroplating tools.

"Contrary to speculation, our checks indicate Novellus is not
losing market share in copper electroplating but rather has
gained further traction," according to the report. "The
recent market share loss speculation stems from Intel, who
has taken delivery of three Applied Materials tools for copper
electroplating," the report said.

"Intel's strategy at 300-mm has been to utilize dual sources
and we believe this is not unusual," the report said. "To the
contrary, we believe Novellus could have wins at
STMicroelectronics and Toshiba, where it was not
incumbent," it added.--M.L.
