Paul, Thank you for that info. Looks very good. We missed you here but if your absence was to go to Intel school, I'm sure we all grateful for the chance to learn more from our tech teacher. Barry

Paul: you had people worried that either Jerry Sanders or Hezbola kidnaped you.

Wow! Where does an alien go to register? Paul, how does one ever learn all that sort of technology? But, many thanks for presenting it to some us who are among the great unwashed. William

Paul, Good to see you back! The following is from Japan Business Tech: ______ Intel, NEC Give Details of 300mm Wafer Chip Lines December 4, 1997 (TOKYO) -- Representatives of major IC makers and equipment manufacturers will provide details of their technology for 300mm wafer production at the Semi Technology Symposium. The symposium coincides with Semicon Japan 97, an exhibition held from Dec. 3 to Dec. 5, 1997, at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba prefecture. Major IC makers are planning to start operating pilot lines for 300mm wafers in 1998 and production lines in 1999. Intel Corp., which is at the forefront in research and development for 300mm wafers, will provide a perspective on its work. An Intel representative will give an address entitled "Factory Consideration for High Volume Manufacturing Using 300mm Wafers." Intel will build a pilot line in the second quarter of 1998 and production lines in 1999. NEC Corp., which also is a leader in microchip technology, will give an address entitled "300mm Wafer Fab Forecast." NEC will set up a pilot line in the second quarter of 1998 and production lines in the fourth quarter of 1999. Semiconductor Leading Edge Technologies, Inc. (Selete) , the research and development organization set up by 10 Japanese IC makers, will give a report at the symposium on the assessment of equipment and materials to be used in 300mm wafer production processes. The Semi Technology Symposium comprises nine sessions, including the 300mm wafer session. Others are: (1) test methodology for high-speed 1GHz-ICs, (2) the next-generation lithography technology for the post-0.25-mm rule, and (3) environment and safety measures.

Paul, thanks for the thoughtful post. I won't pretend to understand it all, but it looks like great stuff to me. One thing that occured to me while I read it, and I may be way off base here-but, could Intel branch out and impact Altera or Xilinx's markets in the future? Michael

Paul: "Intel's New Technology Arsenal" Great to log on and see your post tonight. You know I'm clueless, so if this is a silly question, please have mercy... Would the conversion of that fab to flash have anything to do with these developments? Count me among those who missed your facts and explanations! dmf

Paul, re:<using redundancy to improve yields> Why is this necessary, you already claimed that yields were as high as 100% for the Pentium II wafers. Petz
