Petz - <Isn't it risky to run an Al-interconnect process in the same fab as Cu-interconnect? > No. Cu doesn't threaten Al. Cu threatens any front end process module. <I understood that is the reason that Austin would only do Al and Dresden would start with Cu. That would imply that MOT feels the Cu process is ready for prime time.> I know this. I just have a philosophical difference of opinion. I would bet money intel's process is cheaper, yields better, and performs more than adequately. Can't prove it though. PB
