Pardon me for intruding on your fascinating discussion with acidman, but have you stopped to consider that Cymer's R&D budget is twice that of Lambda's DUV lithography sales. This does not bode well for Lambda's future product offerings in the DUV lithography area. You may say they have a deep pocketed parent company to support them. However, Coherent seems to be having some serious problems currently. This is evidenced by their recent loss, which I see caught you by surprise.

With respect to Komatsu, I can only quote the analyst from Cymer's CC, "We hear Komatsu's lasers don't work too well."

As far as Lambda being a qualified second source at SVGL, this is true. Cymer and SVGL have a long and rather close relationship, so I'm not sure they would stray from a proven vendor like Cymer without extremely good reason and possibly saving some $s on a critical component like the laser doesn't seem like a good enough reason at this point in time.

Anyway, good luck with your COHR investment.
