Shane, Re: "Yes, but no direct relationship to anything in the article." My point was that the AMD "spokesperson" seemed to have a "what could go wrong" attitude in the article. I think we have since seen plenty that has gone wrong at AMD ... and this was in their released, well understood, .25um manufacturing process. <ggg> Re: "At the time I also reckoned that it sounded like a process development that was a year away from production - so that meant Cu/low-e in November 1999." I believe that AMD/Motorolo is further away than just one year ... To complete the low K selection, reliability testing, and solving integration issues will take more like 1 1/2 years. I would put volume production in mid-2000. In fact, I have a "bet" with Kevin Spurway on this very thing. Re: "It will be a nice clean SMIF'd fab - expect low defect density due to random particles ..." Random particles will not be the major component of their defect density issues ... Rather, integration of Copper and their Low K material will dominate their yield pareto, IMHO. Make It So, Yousef
