Katherine:<<In other words, if demand for chips keeps growing at historic rates, 300mm wafers will be needed to stay on the price/performance curve, lots and lots of 300mm fabs will be built, and the equipment makers will be happy. If demand for chips stalls, the equipment makers will be unhappy, regardless of the wafer size.

FWIW, my conversations with Dr. Castellano suggest that he is a thoughtful analyst, but that he also enjoys being provocative. I would read the entire report before investing money based on his conclusions.

Thanks Katherine, I believe your explanation of the process is correct. In addition, why would Morgan and AMAT be pushing 300MM if it meant losing business? I would, however, be interested in reading Dr. Castellano's full report. Do you have it at your website? Jeff
