Thanks, RB, for the explanation.

Do you or anybody happen to know who will be the main competitor of a combined CFM and Steag entity?

Will CFM+Steag be the market leader or will it be #2?

Are margins for these products typically smaller or larger than for plasma processing tools?

One problem this creates is when the "dishes" air dry, there are water spots left. CFM and Steag are fighting over who owns the rights to a process that uses Isopropal Alcohol as a final rinse. The alcohol drives off the water so that the dishes don't have any spots on them. Just like Cascade claims to do for dishwashing.

Running Bull,

Doesn't this issue become moot now?
