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.

2017-2019: Production would start at 8- or 5-nm node.

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.
