Paul, Re: "new 0.18 micron products will be built , the process is being developed at the D2B technology development fab in Oregon. Ultimately, this will become a production fab as the 0.18 micron process is ramped up by the Technology group and transferred to manufacturing. And for added production capacity, the new Fab 18 in Kiryat-Gat, Israel, will START UP as a 200 mm, 0.18 micron production wafer fab in early 1999." What amazes me is that Intel can put up fabs anywhere in the world...Israel, Czechoslovakia, Costa Rica, etc., and any of them can go right to the newest technology, like 0.18 micron, and get top yields. Why not, I guess, if IBM can do the same in a state which has more cows than people! Craig Barrett has to have done a phenomenal job heading up Intel's manufacturing over the last, what, 14 years?
