Paul, All the IBM hype is over SOI? That's it??? Geez! What next? Gallium Arsnide ??? Sorry - I've been "offline" a week or so. I saw that IBM "did it again" announcing old forgotten processing ideas like they are the latest grease news. Can't believe how the press is yukking this stuff up! FYI - I hold in my hand an SOI chip fabricated by HP in 1982! This is one of my long cherished souvenirs. It is CMOS on sapphire to be precise, and was suppose to put Intel and everybody else outta business with great performance and low power consumption. Guess what - it didn't happen. Too expensive and too low yielding. Silicon just doesn't like to crystallize flawlessly grown on other stuff - well - not to level achieved with ingot growth anyway. Of course you know this. I thought EVERYBODY knew this! Fun industry - "Everything old is new again" !!! Jeff
