Little CHick - Re: "I know AMD is using the MOT copper technology. But in the process, don't you think they are making their own discoveries and filing at least SOME copper based patents?"

Don't YOU KNOW?

You're the one that CLAIMEd they were getting COPPER patents !

Maybe all these discoveries are what is DELAYING DREGS-DEN !!

AMD was supposed to have gotten a fully debugged, production worthy, 0.18 micron Copper Rear End Process.

That was almost TWO FULL YEARS AGO !

But AMD engineers re-invented the process - to make it LATER !!

Ha !

chic, You are quite correct. AMD will make improvements and new discoveries and will apply for patents as needed. The terms of their agreement with Mot probably mention this and insist on it and probably will mention cross assignments of such new patents between them. It looks like fatboy(pawL) wants AMD to stand still and let Intel catch up.....in his dreams...or are they nightmares these days?
