Hello Ian I found this release (yesterday) from Motorola to be of interest. Looks like the life of current production technology may be extended significantly. (italics added) Motorola Achieves Industry's First 0.1 Micron Production Silicon Process Using Advanced Phase Shifting Technology Motorola and Numerical Technologies Inc. form first subwavelength strategic alliance AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 1999-- Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector Monday announced the first successful fabrication of 0.1 micron microprocessor feature sizes using a standard 0.18-micron silicon production process. snip====================> Fabrication of the 0.1-micron microprocessor was accomplished using phase-shifting and optical proximity correction (OPC)technology from NumeriTech in conjunction with Motorola's advanced processing. Motorola has since incorporated NumeriTech's software into its production design and fabrication processes to produce additional subwavelength ICs. ''Our alliance with Numerical Technologies enables us to routinely produce logic circuits with high-performance transistors with subwavelength gates. More importantly, it allows current-generation manufacturing tools to provide next-generation performance,'' said Fabio Pintchovski, vice president and director of Motorola's Advanced Products Research and Development Laboratory. snip===============> Warren D. Grobman, director of Motorola's Computational Technologies Laboratory, said, ''We have used advanced phase-shifting technology to successfully design and fabricate one of the world's most complex processors, the PowerPC(TM), with 0.1 micron feature sizes. biz.yahoo.com
