RE: mask life

Was the ASIC number a typo? ASIC houses get ~25 wafers/reticle.

Katherine,

Re: "The mask lifetime question has actually come up before, either here or
in one of the mask house threads."

What is the reason for the short lifetime of reticles ?? One solution
for "short run" ASIC's is to combine different ASIC designs onto one
reticle thus spreading the reticle cost among a few designs. One
company (Mosis) has a business doing just this.
