John - Just FYI an excerpt from Applied Materials Press Release on Black Diamond: Of increasing importance to customers, the Black Diamond process operates with effectively zero volatile organic compound (VOC), perfluorocompound (PFC) and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. This process contrasts with alternative materials, such as organic dielectrics or spin-on films, which have high concentrations of toxic solvents, and involve complex hazardous waste and regulatory issues that are becoming more costly and difficult to address. The fact that it "contrasts with organic dielectrics" means, IMO, that BD is not itself an organic dielectric. Clark
