John,

Please remember that my INTC guess is just speculation based upon a few very thin straws.

1. Large US logic chip maker (Source: Brad Mattson during conference call)
2. 2 orders announced, no name given. Usually an indication of INTC.
3. UK register story.
4. deduction based upon small number of candidates that could conceivably fit.

With 2 multi million $ orders, if it's not INTC, it's someone big. e.g. - IBM, MOT or TXN, imo.

In any case, the fact that a low K strip tool is necessary implies that somebody has a low K CVD tool. ... and I don't think it's AMAT. Their Black Diamond press release seemed to stress their perception of environmental strengths rather than the superiour characteristics of the tool. Sounds like someone has something better.

Could LRCX or NVLS have another surprise?

I haven't been following CVD that closely, so I don't even know who all the candidates might be.

Ian.

<i.Really hope Ian is right about it
being INTC.
