    A new semiconductor R&D facility is moving to the Dallas area soon. 
    The company is Ball Semiconductor.  I will be calling on them and would
    like to understand the technology they are developing.  The press
    release states they will be developing "spherical semiconductors"  Can
    someone help me understand the use for such a technology, and what we
    Digital can bring to the table (sell!!!) to help them along?

|     Could this be a hoax?  Ball Semiconductor has received some hefty tax
    abatements.  I thought current monolithic wafer technolgy worked best
    on very flat surfaces.  A search on the web of spherical semiconductors
    only brought up abnormalies in wafer fabrication.
