The Micron executive said no decision has been made yet on the DUV lithography vendor for the TI fab upgrading. In Boise, Micron is installing deep-UV steppers from ASM Lithography, with the goal of producing 85% of all wafers there on the 248-nanometer excimer laser lines by the end of the year. By contrast, TI has relied almost solely on Canon as its lithography vendor for DRAM fabs. Appleton said Micron will carefully study the mix of equipment at the new TI DRAM facilities before selecting the DUV tools to be installed. Am I correct in assuming it really doesn't matter (from a CYMI investor's standpoint) which vendor Micron chooses?
