>>>>Who will make the x-ray? Does IBM do it in hosue. Unaware of anyone else that fatr along on X-ray. But I'm only an onlooker.<<<< IBM will use synchrotrons as its X-ray source. JMAR is developing a "point source" X-ray system, currently in the process of scaling up power and to be demoed sometime soon. Synchrotrons are not new -- they have been in use a number of years on a developmental basis. They are huge, expensive (about $25 mil.) pieces of equipment capable of serving 18-20 steppers for high-quantity production of chips. Point source serves one stepper and is much less expensive (around $9 mil for the source plus stepper). Mitsubishi is another company involved in X-ray. Betty
