Page 113 of the March 16, 1998 Business Week discusses the Austin Breakthrough. Nothing new to
readers here but the general press is nice.

FAST, CHEAP, and CUTTING EDGE. finding a way to print chips for the year 2010 was supposed to cost at least $1 billion. But C. Grant Wilson, a chemist at U. Texas at Austin and a handful of graduate students may have pulled it off for $2 million. They have produced a laboratory circuit with lines so small they border on ethereal.- just .08 micorns wide. Today's most advanced chips have .25 micron lines.

Five years ago... Wilson went looking for a new film for making chips. This so called resist coating is applied to silicon wafers before circuit images are printed with laser light.

... So when optical lithography reached its suposed .1 micron limit around 2006 a new technology like X-Ray litho would be needed.

Now, Willson's crew has handed today's technology a new lease on life. The break through came two years ago, with a chemical concotion that showed promise a resist.

... Japan Synthetic Rupper Co., has already announced of commercial version of Willson's material.

Don't miss the rise.

P.S. Call your broker and make sure your shares are not being lent to the short sellers. Change accounts or take your shares in Certificate form. You will be paid handsomely by the short squezze your will help create.
