Katherine, <<Among other technical inaccuracies, the TRW laser does not directly generate EUV light. It heats up a metal source, which then emits EUV photons. The difference matters because "laser-produced plasma" is far less efficient than using a laser directly.>> You were just the one I was thinking about while reading that piece a few posts back. I knew it was wrong. And if I know it's wrong then the guy that wrote it must be really stupid. Rgds, D

(Sorry to be so grumpy. I just wish "reporter" weren't such a broad term sometimes.) Kathrine, Take heart in the fact that I say the same thing every time I hear or read about 99.44% (i.e., Ivory Soap Impurity) of the "portolio managers" and "analysts" in the press or media. You've made it to Friday. Have a great weekend. Are you going to do a piece on AMAT's approach to electroplating on your site anytime soon (a compare and contrast, perhaps)? --Duker
