Time frame for 450mm wafers !
2009: Constructive dialogue between tool and chip makers.
2010: Silicon wafer prototypes to determine how technology behaves.
2012-2013: Equipment prototypes.
2014-2016: Equipment ready for pilot lines.
BAD WAFER WEEK: 5 nm? Guys, don't bullshit. At that size transistors will deliver only noise and nothing more. What supply voltage it will use? 0.25V ? What current? Up to 500A? How many pins will be used for power supply? Say 1000. Where are we going? To nowhere,obviously.
We need something quite different. Desperately. NOW.
