Katherine: 193 nm DUV technology has been proven to extend to .07 micron feature sizes using Cymer's laser. That takes us to 2009 on the roadmap. Lambda isn't anywhere close in 193 nm- so to somehow call that a dead heat is a stretch at best.

Regarding 13 nm - I think we're gonna first see a step to 157 nm. Once again I believe it will be virtually all Cymer (a monopoly in my opinion-which might only change if Lambda could ever get even one 193nm laser into production some day).

Out there - in 2010 + something - I am not too worried about that right now - it's all intuition.

Good Luck To Each And All

Katherine - 193 nm (in which case CYMI is at best in a dead heat with Lambda Physik)

By what measure? This is a real question, not a rhetorical one. Lambda and others have 240 nm as well, but the problem is getting high power and many cycles in the same machine. Is this the metric you are using? And what is your basis for that assertion if so?

PS Truly this is not meant to be confrontational, but a real set of questions.
