Paul,

<I have heard that a lot of WIP (Wafers In Progress) have been wiped out by - you guessed it - copper contamination. Also, the general status of the Dresden process is in very poor shape.>

Thanks for sharing this with us - I haven't heard this yet. What is your take on when there will be production from Dresden?

Chuck

I have to admit, now you got me really worried!

Re <<My source for this information has been very reliable in the past - as you know.>>

No I don't know. Your source told you 2.6 "Jacked up voltage" and 60 W power for the K7. Both turned out to be completely false.

Paul, losing one "lot" of wafers does not strike me as a disaster, if the source of the contamination was found.

That would be good news, to have WIP being WIPed out. Just like having tapes being taped out.
