Bad luck, but just say you're fed up working with sub standard machinery and it was bound to happen sooner or later...

Explain sub standard machinery to me please

Raikiri · 6 May 2006 at 00:30

Automatic movements wouldnt work so you had to do it manually, surely not standard practice?

blame it on the new guy, or failing that find someone who doesnt speak very good english, and leave the blame on them

Or say "I know nothing" and plead ignorance.

Now we'll know who to blame when there's a shortage of Athlon64 chips!

But seriously, that's pretty bad

I work at Amd as a Implant Equipment engineer and i have just broken a 300mm wafer with >100 A64 chips on it. Whos going to get his bum kicked when the fab managers get in. god i need to go home.

Yeah right. Dont suppose you could send me a few FX-60s. Probably cheaper than you breaking >100 AMD chips

Im sure i smell something

KizZ · 6 May 2006 at 01:00

Out of interest how much does an FX-60 cost to make :confused:

Surely this is a wind-up??? :confused:

If not BS

Ciao bella · 6 May 2006 at 02:05

Good news it was only a test wafer not a prod wafer so cost is only a few hundred euros.
by the way we have 24 hr support with 12 hr shifts and am on the night shift yuh.
all cleaned and chamber pumping down.
for the people wanting chips sorry we only make the wafers here in dresden they are sent to singapore for cutting and packaging(plastic body and legs).

Ciao, be more careful in future

Fulcrum · 6 May 2006 at 02:20

So when they stamp them made in malaysia or singapore in this case, really all the main work was done somewhere like Dresden?

I wouldnt worry too much, if you smash the final product then its big money but sounds like you only broke it half way. It starts off as sand after all right
