Kap: AMD does not use 193nm lithography on the 130nm node. It is all 248nm. Its public info. There was an interview with a Dresden technologist where he said that they are hoping to avoid the need for 193nm on the 90nm node as well. Are you sure? And when was this interview from? Just trying to get the facts straight ;-) -fyo

>However I feel obligated to warn the thread to pay no attention to your posts and certainly make no investment decisions based on them.< The advise about not making any investment decisions based upon my posts is excellent. The posts on this thread should be used only to alert readers to potential opportunities and pitfalls. Anybody investing money should independently research any issue discussed on this tread. Nobody should make any investment decisions based upon anybody's posts here. Anybody who does so is a fool. My information on AMD using 193nm lasers for some of the mask steps at 130nm is a matter of public record, as you claim is the case with your assertion that they are not using 193nm lasers. My information is about two years old and could therefore actually be in error. It would be beneficial both for the sake of argument and to prove your case if, when you are making assertions that a fellow poster is simply making things up and therefore to be totally disregarded, you would post links to sites proving your own claim, or at least site hard copy documents that do so. I saw no such links in your post so, any reasonable reader who fails to exert the effort to confirm which stance is factual, should also consider the potential that you are making up your own "facts". Personally, I hope you are right. I would like to know that AMD is indeed using 248nm lasers for all of the mask layers at 130nm. And if proving your case for this also "proves" your case for me making up facts, I consider this a reasonable trade. Please provide some links to published information supporting your assertion, preferably information published within the last year.
