Re: "Yousef said dual damascene COULDN'T be done in 1 photolithography step and 1 etch step. I showed him that it can. You called it "a hypothetical process flow". If that is so then I must be quite smart to whip it up in a few minutes. I better go and patented it right away. The truth is that you don't work in that field and Yousef IS NOT AN EXPERT IN THAT FIELD. That is a patented process and is used in production. I suggest Yousef can do his basic homework by asking his resist vendors about the technology of BI-RESIST for dual damascene. When I gave the process flow I showed that it can and has been done. There is no need for me to dwell into this discussion further. This is not a process technology thread. My suggestion for you is that you should post what you know best. What is your expertise anyway? " Maxwell, I don't pretend to be knowledgeable in this area, but to claim that a process exists is not the same as demonstrating it exists. You have presented a process flow and said "trust me" (Kind of like Jerry<g>). I don't know if you or Yousef is correct here but it appears to me that you have made claims and left out critical information to back it up. If you couldn't provide the necessary information then why did you make such claims? I don't know who is right here maybe you are maybe not, but I know who is hiding something. EP
