AMD Does Copper
by Steve Gibson, Aug 02, 1999 8:08pm PDTAMDZone sent along the link to this article on TheRegister with word that the AMD folks have successfully gotten the copper fab up and running and have run some K6 CPUs with the new technology. They are just warming up for those K7 production runs. No word on the % yield though for the wafers.
But success with the K6 in copper is merely a warm up for production of the K7 Athlon, according to Hans Jeppe, who runs the facility, He confirmed that the fab was capable of producing 5,500 wafer starts a week, but declined to say how many of the dies would be good ones. There will be 300 K7 Athlons per wafer at .18 micron.
