There are no Mercury lamp steppers/scanners out there that can resolve sub-0.18&#181m features, so it logically follows they will require a laser based tool. I say sub-0.18, because the printed gate on this process is actually smaller than 0.18&#181m. Bob

Finkel;stein light bulbs stop at .25 microns. Intel was only company that somehow managed to not use Cymer lasers for .25. Its been known all along that when they went to .18 they would have to go to Cymer. Until Intel announcement everyone felt that time was much further off in the future. Since Intel orders 10 % of all equip in semi industry this has got to be a good break for Cymer. I wish I knew how many laser orders we're talking about. I'm sure someone else on this board can answer.
