No doubt, Cuts throughput way down, but remember, Phase Shifting is used only on the Critical Layers, and Eliminating it would cost Millions in Stepper Costs for 0.13u at this point. I doubt intel has "Eliminate Phase Shifting" at the top of their Cost Reduction roadmap. No it's not at the top of the list. That's because Intel still has competition. The question was what would Intel do to reduce costs if there was no competition. No competition -> no need for highest speeds. No need for highest speeds -> no need for phase shifting. No phase shifting -> faster thru-put. Faster thru-put -> lower cost. But then again either way, it's all speculation...... ... Right? Yup, until there's no competition... <G> EP
