I would not say that there are no dearer deposit methods Wally .
And you're right on fine control on high first pass yields demands it
does justify itself .
But we'd have it uphill to convince Kathy with 99.3 on silver on first
go to switch over .
We just passed 50K on switch pad (carbon pill) life cycle ; this silver
is even versatile on contact .
Steam to follow . That is AlphaLevel .
It is interesting the top organic coat does have little effect on
resistance .
