Intel announces first 0.13-micron chips in 300-mm development fab Semiconductor Business News (04/02/01 11:50 a.m. PST) HILLSBORO, Ore.--Intel Corp. today (April 2) announced it has produced its first 0.13-micron ICs on 300-mm wafers in a development fab here. The company said the development milestone keeps it on track to bring 0.13-micron technology into production on 300-mm (12-inch) diameter wafers at the beginning of 2002. "Intel is the first in the industry to complete silicon [development] using advanced 0.13-micron technology on 300 mm-wafers," said Sunlin Chou, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Technology and Manufacturing Group. "For Intel, this accomplishment represents the beginning of a new era in cost-effective, high-volume manufacturing. " The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip giant said the 300-mm wafers are expected to lower costs by 30% compared to 200-mm substrates. "By shrinking the circuit lines to 0.13-microns and increasing the wafer size to 300-mm, we are able to quadruple the output of a standard factory operating today," said Tom Garrett, 300-mm program manager at Intel. Intel said it expects to use 40% less energy and water fabricating devices on 300-mm wafers compared to today's 200-mm substrates.

Hi Brian, [edited] right on >Anyone who is invested in AMAT is not an investor, but is someone "hiding." LOL.< I'm amused by the posters on other threads whose buy point is always 5 bucks below the current low, after they badmouth the company. If the company is so terrible, why buy the stock at any price. Yet, there is some humor... on LU Message 15600412 and giving history lessons based on the NAZ Message 15600819 edit: and, could this become a trend? >I smashed the machine, and picked up a new one during the weekend< Message 15601010 Gottfried
