"SEA really has no equipment cos. from whom to purchase equipment, outside of Tokyo Electron et al so it is impossible for them to buy locally, even if they wanted to." It has been my impression that there are Japanese CMP companies (Ebara, supposedly Sony is bringing out a CMP unit, ...) This is a dim remembrance from the Speedfam thread. There are also Japanese laser companies (Komatsu?), stepper manufacturers (Nikon, Canon), and so on. I don't know what proportion of semi equipment is available from Japan. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could help me out. Steve
