re: Albert: <<1st 6 months it would be 15% at best on average with 30% exit rate.>>

Doug: <Actually, not necessarily. Can you spot your false assumption?>


Albert is making the most optimistic assumption for you, a linear ramp. More likely, the ramp is exponential or quadratic. For example, a linear ramp in wafer starts accompanied by a linear ramp in yield results in a quadratic ramp.

With a quadratic or exponential ramp, the average for the last six months would be considerably less than 15%.
