This article is true by default. If MERCED is made using .18 rules, the equipment that will make it must have a Cymer laser. I wonder why Cymer didn't make this announcement itself? Hello, PR Firm, are you out there ?????

"Intel's new chip (MERCED) uses a 0.18-micron process, the next step beyond the 0.25-micron process. Cymer is currently the only supplier of production level illumination sources for .18 processes." Merced will certainly be .18u. Since Micarscan-III's use Cymer lasers, it's a pretty safe bet that, yes, they will be used to make Merced. Intel has also said they will have Merced samples out by the end of the year. None of this information is really new. Nick
