Yousef: You clearly know a lot more about the process than I do. I would only add that it is likely further complicated by the fact that the same Fab is being used for two other product lines.

As long as the process is the same for the different products, it really shouldn't have that big an impact. For example, intel runs P3, P4 and Itanium on the same production lines. It's simply a matter of swapping the reticles in the Litho Steppers to lay down the different product patterns. IF on the other hand, you're trying to run Bulk SI and SOI (2 different processes), on the same production lines..... that could be a problem.
