James, could you please comment on the following statement: >>Here's the other good rub. Let's say I am wrong and 250nm i-line is successful. Most of the new systems bought will be retrofittable to DUV down the road. I know 3 major providers of i-line steppers have stated that their new DUV systems are based on the existing i-line equipment platform such that an almost seamless production transition (operator training) could be accomplished to DUV. With this said, the major beneficiary here would be CYMI for the upgraded DUV supplies>> The author suggests that one could buy an i-line stepper, then retrofit it to DUV. I was under impression that thi wouldn't work?? TIA, Yakov
