Regarding a Semiconductor Online article on copper ramps in Europe (http://www.semiconductoronline.com/content/news/article.asp?DocID={897836B4-E63B-11D3-8C1F-009027DE0829}&Bucket=Latest+Headlines), you wrote: >I was not aware that Dresden (FAB 30) had ever ramped up on .25 Aluminum K6s. Is the author saying thay Dresden shipped .25u K6s? To my knowledge, Dresden hasn't shipped yet. Perhaps the .25 Aluminum K6s' were practice or the author is in error?<< Here's Gail's response: >>The aluminium interconnect was during the pilot ramp up - not for shipping (as I understand it - they ramp on existing and then move over to and compare the new technology. IBM the same - they are pleased with copper yields against what they achieved with al.) No, no shipment of aluminium - purely pilot stuff.<< Hope this answers your question. Katherine
