>> As I understand it, APM doesn't model the devices. It monitors the parameters that are used and the measured results on the test structures. It then keeps a database of tweaks and the results.

That is exactly the reason that I don't expect APM to give good results at 65 nm. Again, relying on the Intel paper, the randon atomic states do not recur on reruns of the step. So whatever tweak was needed on one run is not applicapable to the next run. Nor to other samples in the same run.

>> And you base this on what, exactly?

Their performance at the easier (by comparison) 65 nm node. I am sure immersion brings new challenges.
