Dear Reader,

Welcome to Foundry Watch Dec. 2003 ! It's almost time to draw the line under another exciting, challenging and, fulfilling year. In this last 2003 issue, we are delighted to tell you that TSMC is the first foundry to successfully qualified its 90-nm low-k process. We will also share with you the results of our Proton Bombardment Research which was just released at the IEEE on Dec. 8th. We'll continue to enhance and expand this publication and look forward to hearing your voice.
