I have been trying to track this info down for a while. The pieces may be comming together
From Transcript III of Cymer analyst call:
techstocks.com
So no chipmaker yet has Deep-UV lasers in volume production?

No. Samsung has a few systems in volume production as we speak. And they are unique in that regard.

Intel?

Excimer-powered Deep-UV? No. Intel of course has the Microscan Deep-UV bulb-based system for quarter micron fabrication. They do not have laser-based systems. I think it has been reported publicly that Nikon has delivered at least one system to Intel for evaluation purposes. Other companies are hoping to do so, but they have no machines that are excimer powered as we speak, in production today.

This post can only be considered a rumor now but keep ears close to the ground.

INTC's 0.25um line is using SVGI's stepper with Lambda Physik's mercury lamp. But they will switch ALL to Cymer's laser light source 1st quarter next year because of better resolution and therefore yield.
