Just a few concerns about the finding of Sematech, which lead me to think something is wrong with their findings, and why JMAR should not even blink an eye at the findings.

First, JMAR can do EUV, they have always said they could do a very quick transition to EUV.

Second, DARPA and IBM both are into XRL and it is ready to enter the market by JMAR in the next 6 to 9 months, and already in the market place with IBM. University of Wisconsin, University of Michigan and a lot of America and European University have been and continue to work on XRL.

Third, 120 people decided the findings, O.K. who were they? Certainly non of the XRL manufactures were their except for IBM. Why, because only IBM, JMAR and just a few others outside of the Universities and DARPA are working on XRL. Same problem as always with XRL they I have been talking about for months now, NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT XRL AND WHAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO DO. We do not even have a clue as to how small or how powerful the lasers can be and how small the chip designs can be printed on the chips.

Fourth, we will have the BrightLight laser in January to sell. It is ready to be producted and placed into OEM's. This alone will be huge for JMAR. We know that the laser will cost about $300,000 to $500,000 a piece. Anyone want to guess how many a single assemble line will need to make motherboards. Maybe 10, 20, 50? I don't know but I'm sure its more than 5 or 10.

What do others see?

Tim - This "vote" doesn't mean any technology is a "done deal" yet.

Sources also said it will be at least another two to three years before beta tools are built for any of the systems. That should be long enough for any system to get back in the running.
