I know that our relationship with IBM is well documented, but isn't Intel a company JMAR is also associated with in some ways? I was under the impression (based on posts from past year) that Intel was a friend, not a foe. Can someone comment? ed PS: I will be gone on business in Vegas for a week (SEMA Auto Show) so I can't reply to your replies, but am sure you will have an exciting week.

Keep in mind that the Intel spokesperson's comments are regarding stepper production, and not the lithography source.

Brent - The Ultratech Stepper article is about EUV lasers and steppers. The govt. is no longer funding that research, and that is why a private consortium has been developed. From the article: >>>However, the projects ended abruptly last year, when Congress terminated funding for Energy Department-private industry cooperative research agreements. Work on the extreme ultraviolet lithography prototype ended on Sept. 30, 1996."<<<<< JMAR's laser-plasma X-ray lithography point source is STILL being funded by the government, and the JMAR system would cost far less than $25 million. The JMAR point source would cost about $2 million, and then you'd have to add another $7-8 million for the stepper (which would be supplied by an X-ray stepper company - SAL, for example.) Betty
