Paul,

Re: "I believe Intel was working on EPI raised Source-Drain technology - perhaps you
have more up to date information?"

The most recent info that I have heard is that .18um processing will use
"halo" (angled compensation implants) implants to reduce the "reverse
short channel effects (RSCE) and In (Indium) channel implants for P-channel
Vt adjusts. I know that work has been done on raised S/D using SiGe selective
epitaxy, but I wasn't sure how far along this was.

BTW, the .18um process will be a full 30% performance boost over .25um (just
like the gain going from .35um -> .25um) ... and it will be in production
volume next year, '99.

Regards,
Yousef
