Jim, Re: "PS... I say A and C" THINK MAN ... Do the math. This implies a wafer cost that is way too high. Jim, You are lost ... Now I know why you can't make any money. Make It So, Yousef

Re: "Elmer. Way under $50? Let's make it multiple guess. 1. Cost/chip... a. ($46-50) b. (41-45) c. (36-40) d. (30-35) 2. Yields...before speed binning. a. 90%-100 b. 80-89 c. 70-79 d. 60-69 e. 50-59 " Is there some reason you didn't include an "f" for #1? As for #2, such yield descriptions are meaningless. For very large die 50% could be excellent yield while for a very small die 90% could be quite poor. You should be asking the ISO # the process is running at. That number will tell you more than yield %. At any rate I cannot comment further out of respect for my source. I have agreed not to post this information and I must respect that agreement. Accept what I have posted or reject it. It's your choice. Either way it's not that big a deal. EP
