Abstract
A review of Intel\´s 1 /spl mu/m technology demonstrates that uncontrolled engineering innovation can limit output during the transfer and ramp of Si technology into manufacturing. A method to copy the development fabrication facility learning, thereby maximizing output during the transfer and ramp, is described. This "Copy Exactly!" method is shown to enhance output as demonstrated by the results of Intel\´s 0.5 /spl mu/m, 0.35 /spl mu/m and 0.25 /spl mu/m technology transfer and ramp.
