Kash,

Re: "I think you are spot on with this ... Having said that, I suspect IBM at
least has the low K dielectric program under way just like Intel."

I believe that you are correct with this statement, Kash.

Make It So,
Yousef

Kash,

I thought that MOT was developing very low permitivity "aerogel" dielectrics. I'm sure that this technology is part of their cross license agreement. I think the push to copper at 0.18u is more related to cost and gaining experience than anything else. I would hope that they would get experience with copper at a dimension where it is not critical, before moving on to one where it is.

Pravin.
