Good post, I don't expect he will answer. /Petz

Doug -

I'm tired of explaining something to you that you clearly just don't understand. If you want to believe everything is fine in AMD's fabs then be my guest. If you don't value my input then disregard it. No skin off my nose.

I feel strange siding with Elmer, but as I understand it, defect density shouldn't be different between SOI and bulk. It has to do with foreign matter (dust) not the kind of wafer--same fab, same air, same defect density. If there are problems peculiar to SOI, they would not be defect density.

Unless there are using bad wafers...

EDIT: Well, process size should matter, but they are both at 13nm here too.
