Robert G: Probably. Intel has made it clear that it will use double patterning and not immersion for their 45 nm node. This may have been driven by the timetable for production immersion, along a strong desire to stay ahead of AMD, in process if not in architecture. Immersion is a bit less ready for production. AMD has indicated a mid-2008 transition to the 45 nm node, using immersion. That timetable is a good fit. I wonder if the double patterning choice was driven more by timing then performance.
