Tony>Don't we have to look at the number of chips that have been made out of those 200 mm wafers? Since 1995 or so, we have traversed .8, .65, .5, .35, .25, .18 and now are coming up on 0.13 micron technologies. There are, therefore, many times more chips being made today per wafer, and overall, than there were in 1995.< That's true. I thought that the phrase "200mm equivalents" also refered to a specific feature size, but if that is not true, then all of this must be revised. Anybody know if 200mm equivalents also takes feature size into account. HH
