Re: "This new 0.18micron device is indeed novel. You assumed a ten percent improvement in speed based upon the ten percent improvement in IDSAT. However this the novel notching on this device appears to give a much lower Gate Overlap Capacitance, reducing the Miller Capacitance. This should increase the speed much more than expected from IDSAT alone." My take is the extremely high drive currents are the result of very highly doped shallow extension junctions which result in considerably lower external resistance. Such extension junctions would ordinarily result in extremely high overlap capacitance. Hence, the notched profile to lower overlap capacitance and maintain extremely low external resistance. Will this get them to 1GHz? Maybe, but not sure. THE WATSONYOUTH
