RE: Isn't it more likely that AMD will use IBM's SOI wafer production technology? Even Ibis had to license IBM's SIMOX-SOI wafer production process: Ibis Technology Corp. here today announced it has licensed IBM Corp.'s patented process for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers using separation by implantation of oxygen technology, known as SIMOX. IBM's process employs a modified low-dose process to produce SIMOX-SOI wafers. siliconstrategies.com The story of AMD and IBM's SOI is not entirely new: In addition to a 0.13-micron transition later in the year, it has been rumored that AMD will work with IBM to develop SOI technology to help achieve lower average power states for AMD's next-generation Thoroughbred family, based on the Athlon. siliconstrategies.com Regards, Hans
