It looks like Lambda Physik is a subsidiary of Coherent, Inc. quote.yahoo.com Coherent seems to be focusing on other uses for lasers. They don't seem all that interested in marketing for the tech sector. The main reason is the limited 17,500 sq. facility Lambda is operating in. It sounds like Lambda is a smart company without the proper support? Maybe CYMER could knock'em off. :-) Coherent reported slowing sales and took a hit. Aloha

Mr. Aloha, Can you (or anyone else) contrast the lithography technologies of Cymer and Coherent. I imagine that many of the claims are hard to sort through and I must admit I am not feeling up to the challenge. Perhaps an assessment of the technological matchup has been done somewhere, perhaps on this thread. I will caveat that I am long on Coherent at this time but from a perspective of them being more of leader in general application of lasers in multiple fields. However, this field (lithography) baffles me currently. It seems that the key factor is beam width so it strikes me that that would be all that mattered. Set me straight: what makes Cymer's product better or differientiates it from coherent's. J
