Paul, 300mm is far from ready for production...as a matter of fact several pieces are still missing to complete a 300mm pilot line. Once they are all available, it will still take at least another 18 months or so to get the yeilds to a point that 300mm saves money over 200mm. Also, remember 300mm tools will generally be 30 to 40% higher cost than 200mm.
