That question assumes that errors are randomly distributed across the wafer. I don't know about those things, but have a gut feeling that error probablilty might be higher at the edge of the wafer... Will be happy to be proven wrong, though...:-) Cheers, Jostein ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
