I think you clearly need a bridge between production 300mm and the current leading edge ...

Even if INTC were to pull-in 300mm, they would not be really production ready until 2001 -- at the very earliest. This is still about a decade before 300mm was supposed to happen just a few months back!!!<G>

It is still tremendously powerful for the SemiCaps, IMHO. 300mm is not just a step ... like .25 to .18M ... or even a stride like .1xM aluminum to Cu ... it is a quantum leap and will be a boon for the capital equipment guys in the long run ... once they can amortize the RD&E spending over production volumes ...

In short, by moving 300mm to the front-burner, INTC gives us another leg in the semicap recovery beyond incremental technology or even leading-edge 200mm capacity buys.

So, I guess that is where I stand ... it is all good for LRCX ...
