Question: Does AMAT (somewhere in the food chain) buy 0.25 equipment to make 0.25 machines for semi makers? If so, does anyone think that AMAT's 50% stake in Applied Komatsu Technology, Inc. will influence the purchase of CYMI's lasers?

The article is very informative and quite pertinent to the discussion we were having. A new viewpoint is presented in the article -- critical and noncritical dimmensions being needed on the same chip, and if DUV tools were so scarce (as might have been few months back), then i-line could do the job just as well as DUV tools on the noncritical dimmensions, thus explaining why mix-and-match. But with Cymer's present 1000/year DUV lasaer production should soon phase out i-line tools procuremenr, I would think. Tulvio
