Katherine, IBM has been experimenting/developing X-ray lithography for about 10 years and has a working technology. I think they will be the early leader into sub 0.13uM technology by mid year '99. Also, TI is planning on sub 0.13uM in late '99 according to an article recently published. I posted a link to it about 2 weeks ago. Any leading edge chip manufacturer that can make a quantum leap in lithography techniques coupled with advanced copper and CMP and dual damascene techniques will establish the new processing standards and have a tremendous strategic advantage over the competition. Just my opinion, BB
