Pretender - <, but I thought there are serious contamination concerns involved with mixing al & cu manufacturing in the same plant> Actually, no. Cu would devastate any transistor. Al with Cu is not the problem, i.e., Cu won't damage Al. The problem I am having with AMD's strategy is the lack of manufacturing synergy between their only two K7 fabs. A .18 Cu interconnect process and an .18 Al interconnect process are TOTALLY different in the back end. PB
