zsteve/all,

Interesting article from Austin American-Statesman on 300 mm wafers.

exceprt: "We have products ready to go to customers for pilot lines, but there is only one pilot line going on right now," said Jaim Nulman, head of Applied's development effort. "It's like flying an airplane with no airport to land on and you are running low on fuel."

...In another indication of the problem, a four-hour session at the Semicon Southwest trade show today was to have focused on the move to 300-millimeter wafers. It was canceled , however, because not enough people registered for it.
