It would if Intel did not cancel any 193nm lithography equipment orders. But, I suspect that Intel cancelled all (or perhaps only half) of their 193nm lithography equipment orders for 200mm wafers. Until their 300mm fabs begin to ramp, Intel will be using PSM equipment and 248nm lithography equipment. Did intel cancel 193nm Litho Equipment Orders? Says Who? Semi

Until their 300mm fabs begin to ramp, Intel will be using PSM equipment and 248nm lithography equipment. You still seem to be fixated on 193nm equipment. Intel was reporting their process last November with 70nm gates formed using conventional 248nm lithography... and that was back in November long before the reported shortages with the 193nm equipment... It appears that Intel wasn't trying especially hard to integrate 193nm lithography into 0.13 micron from the outset...
