The question is when will the .18 micron process start. Intel will be rolling out .25 in volume and across its entire product line. This is not going to be some limited run, this technology will replace all of the existing .35 product. We aren't talking about the new technology, these are just advancements for the Pentium class so they can take it over 400 Mhz without even breaking into a sweat. I don't even want to think about the next generation stuff until the end of this year. Gargini said Intel is using a 250-nm wavelength produced by SVGL's mercury lamp to expose the 0.25-micron linewidths. The results are virtually the same as those of a 248-nm wavelength used by deep-UV excimer-laser systems, but the technique does not require any significant changes in the fab processes. That has allowed Intel to move quickly into the next-generation wafer technology using existing lithography and photoresists on fab lines. Because the 248/250-nm wavelength can be used for 0.18-micron geometries, Intel believes the present Micrascan-II may continue to be used for that generation as well, Gargini said.
