Bill - Re: ". If, in addition, the cells can be made smaller but deeper(of course I speak of the charge storage capacitor for the memory cell, that which holds the charge which is refreshed with dynamic ram, static does not have this, the strictly surface based features like lines etc are not affected."

Microprocessor cache memory and registers are almost EXCLUSIVELY Static Ram cells.

Charge Storage wells applies to DYNAMIC memory cells - generally NOT APPLICABLE to microprocessors.
