Hence the "shortage". They moved a lot of their production to .13 with high expectation and then that bombed.

TGPTNDR,

WRT INTC leakage. Now, perhaps, we know why INTC didn't *NEED* Copper at .18µ?

I am not an expert in this area (I hope someone can explain), but my guess is that the leakage is in the silicon, not the metal layers (Cu vs. Al), and what can combat this is SOI (which Intel said is NOT needed either). BTW, Intel's .13u process is copper.

I wonder if AMD's bulk .13u process (Thoroughbred, Appaloosa) will have the same problems.
