In this paper five members of the “Community Psychoanalytic Track and Consortium” (CPT&C) in San Francisco, California, each holding different positionalities and functioning in different roles, come together in dialog with the shared aim to bring themselves and their readers inside the CPT&C. This writing project recapitulates principles of the CPT&C's vision itself: to form polyvocal groups with the shared task of supporting each other in our various roles, and members of community mental health organizations in their work and lives. From that effort new forms of psychoanalytic learning and work are generated; in this instance the process translates into a new writing form.

As the level of microelectronics integration increases, device design geometries decrease. For example, current state of the art fabrication lines for high performance devices (e.g. microprocessors and DRAMs) use design geometries with critical dimensions (CDs) of 0.8 μm and smaller. Further, SEMATECH's goal for 1993 is to have CDs of 0.35 μm in production capability; goals of 0.15 μm are being discussed for the late-1990s. This trend greatly reduces processing latitude in device fabrication and thus places even greater demands on materials properties and process control. For these goals to be met, there must be more diagnostics capabilities than presently exist. Optimal characteristics for diagnostics include being noncontact, nondestructive, simple, quantitative, rapid, and capable of being implemented in-situ.
