F., You may well be right. I certainly hope so. When I see intent to be in production with 300mm and 0.13µ, I suspect it probably also implies copper; and I'd be surprised if there will be another fab more advanced during 2001. That was why I used the term "bleeding edge". I'm confident they'll be successful, more productive than current technology, etc. But being first, they'll have to sort out each problem uniquely working with their suppliers. And as a foundry, they're likely to be making a wide variety of chips using a wider variety of processes than a specialty fab. JMHO, Ian.
