Such tools also have been driven by the poor economic picture in the semiconductor industry. Falling revenues have prompted silicon vendors to ignore quarter-micron manufacturing and move quickly to 0.22- or 0.1-micron line widths, thereby gaining efficiencies without having to buy 300-mm tool sets.

Good news, Right?

Semiconductor companies have found that by a combination of RISC technology, CMP, technology and stepper technology, they can extend their lithography specifications further than they thought," Rygler said. Some people are talking about going to 0.15 micron with 248-nm" lithography.

Bad News? or are they just talking about the masks? Masks eliminate the need for Cymer's DUV lasers?
