There were indications that lead times for the TWINSCAN™ XT:1700i (up to 9 months and more) were due to shortcomings of Zeiss to deliver optics to ASML in time. Zeiss has established new production facilities in the second half of 2006 and this was expected to solve the problem. Not sure about the 1900i here. It will be interesting to see how many TWINSCAN™ XT:1700i´s have been shipped in Q1. If I remember correctly ASML managed to ship 23 of these in 2006.
