With neolib's brilliant pronouncement, I would think the subject is now closed to further discussion. It's like booming voice from mount olympus, right ? Nontheless, fabtech.org Although Intel Corp. plans to start volume production at the 45nm node later this year, the leading-edge node for the rest of the CMOS logic community will be 65nm. This simple statement lays the foundation for a host of misconceptions about the 65nm node having been ‘cracked,' and that volume production at high yields is a given. It may come as shock to some that the vast majority of chip manufacturers currently ramping 65nm processes - including some of the major foundries - have less than 50 percent yields! This statement was issued by John Kispert, President and COO of KLA-Tencor. If anyone should have a good grasp of the bigger picture, it should be John Kispert, head of the largest supplier of metrology solutions in the industry. Kispert noted last week during a conference call to report on fourth quarter financial results that the majority of chip manufacturers using 65nm processes were currently experiencing yield levels "well below 50 percent."
