I stand corrected. I thought that ASML, DPMI, PLAB, and ETEC had considerable overlap. BTW, I tried to get a quote on JEOL and it failed. What is the name of the company? I don't think I've heard of them.

Bob,

Re: ASML does not supply mask making equipment. Etec's primary competitors are Hitachi, Leica, and JEOL.


Does Leica(Leitz-Wetzlar) make mask-making equipment? I thought they were purely into lenses and optics. They are a partner with AMAT to make lenses for SEM's for the Opal/Orbot divisions, but I had no idea they were also into chip-gear.

Regards,

Brian
