Semiconeng, Re: <Who do you think is first in line for 193nm Steppers.> I take it Intel did not wind up going with the Nikon as was rumored here(From February this year)? siliconstrategies.com ===================== Some info on the SVG tool set here(From December last year): siliconstrategies.com Intel is scrambling for 193-nm tools--and for good reason. The company is using 248-nm tools from ASML's Silicon Valley Group (SVG) unit and Nikon to successfully process its 0.13-micron chips, but those scanners could soon run out of gas and are not expected to extend down to its next-generation, 90-nm (0.09-micron) process node. The Santa Clara-based company is also in a race with microprocessor rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. to develop chips at the 90-nm node and beyond. Intel hopes to develop its first 0.09-micron chips by early-2003 or sooner, the company said. Unlike AMD--which for years has used ASML's tools--Intel has been forced to shift gears in terms of its lithography strategy. Intel was originally supposed to use 193-nm scanners from SVG to process its 0.13-micron chips, according to sources. tgptndr
