Billy G <<Sematech isn't going to be able to broker a consensus this year among device makers and their equipment suppliers on what advanced lithography system to pursue for building the next generation of ICs. To keep on track and begin producing chips with feature sizes of 0.15-micron by 2003, Sematech originally had expected to narrow the choice among five fiercely competing technologies at its Colorado summit meeting this next week.>>

this is referring to using EUV or X-Ray, not DUV. DUV is already here. This is actually good news for DUV as it gives DUV a larger spread to implement, and especially good for Cymer since they'll be moving from Krypton Flouride Kr, .25mu, to Argon Flouride ArF to achieve .18mu. ArF systems will be ready, according to Cymer by the end of this year. This information comes from Angus. So, even before Komatsu has managed to get the .25mu out the door, Cymer willhave the capability of producing ArF systems by early next year.
