TWY -

Somehow... I just knew you wouldn't provide a number. But, in a subsequent post, you claimed a direct cost of $100 for A64. Whether you realize it or not, that implies a yield (using reasonable # for processed wafer cost) of about 20% Is that what you are claiming for current yields of A64? If not, then what are you claiming for current yields?? And....please don't tell me that a $100 direct cost doesn't imply a certain yield level.

At 193mm2 there would be about 120 whole die on a wafer. A 20% yield would give 24 GDPW. A $100 die cost would give a processed wafer cost of $2400. I think that's too low for SOI, BWDIK?

Again I ask, how about you providing a yield estimate? You do a lot of criticizing the estimates presented by others. How about sticking your neck out and offering some estimates of your own?
