Bill - <PB, Would they do that optical shrink just for speed increases?, with all that dead area around the chip?? I would think they would do an optical shrink and then close up the steps to minimize that dead area and thus get better yields? Otherwise why do it?, no faster, no better yield, or is it a transitional step towards closing up the steps> I don't believe the .18 K7 is what I call an optical shrink. I don't believe the .18 K7 was referred to as an optical shrink. I don't believe it would make much sense to do an optical (dumb) shrink on the K7. Maybe Scumbria can shed some light on you questions. PB
