but I was "underwhelmed" then by his "development" Apparently so is Andrew Vance (publisher of RadarView, a daily newsletter devoted to the semiconductor industry. I subscribe and would recommend it to anyone else risking substantial sums in this technology sector. radarview.com). His comments on Mulith are on the General Lithography thread at Subject 10915

I'd sure like to see Gilson's business plan. I think the announcement yesterday is indeed "trolling for money," as Vance suggests over in the Lithography forum. I think this could be developed into something useful, but it won't happen soon. It seems to be an application of multiple-image holography, which in theory can make Very Small Lines from light of longer wavelengths, something that's been sort of a Holy Grail for lithography for a while now. I'd like to take a scientifically skeptical look at the concepts, though, just to see if it has any legs. As for this one being too wild to work, I remind readers that building circuits using semiconducting spheres looked like a hoax, some years back. That concept is nearly a commercial reality.... Mitch
