DLC & all,

Regarding Mask-makers I'm under the impression that the market punished the whole group recently. With PLAB & DPMI downgrades hitting the street, many thougt MASK should be next. To asses the situation at arm'S length, I think it would pay to find the following insights

1) MASK specifically mentioned 0.25 (QMI - quarter micron), PSM (phase shift masks), OPC etc. What about gross margins in these segments in contrast to MASKs old product line (up to 0,35/0.5) ? Is there a remarkable difference ?

2) Since the competition that PLAB & DPMI specified in their earnings warning(s) can only be MASK and some captive shop, it would be nice to find out whether PLAB & DPMI are responding to it with price-cuts of their services..

Any info on these matters ?

best regards
CROSSY
