"What kind of reasons ? variation in raw materials ? Or variation in the performance of equipment handling the materials ?"

There was an article from www.eet.com that I posted here last year. It went over the issues. A large part of the problem is that the exact state individual atoms are in at the time of processing starts to make a difference. So that needs to be compensated for in later processing steps.

"Does APM have a track record in 65 nm ?"

It has been running with 65nm ever since they started process development, so yes.
