Patient; What is the lead time for the latest steppers for .18 and .11 etc?. I have heard that it can be 18-24 months?, if true this makes catchup hard for even well funded corporations, as the queue might not be jumpable(unless you buy from some smart company that placed an order way ahead, with no desire to use it, but to sell it, as they do in the airline industry). It is my understanding that the leading edge machines have very few manufacturers, and in some cases a sole company makes critical machines?

Would you be able to comment and ppace a perspective on this area.

Bill
