Cool, re:...Standard industry practice is to denote die size based on the sqrt of die area, hence sq. mils per side... As Scumbria already pointed out, you are in way over your head. Many people on this thread (myself and Scumbria included) come from a chip design background. A chip is measured in mils (thousanths of an inch) on a side (not sq. mils per side), mm (millimeters) on a side, or mm^2 (an area). The latter is becoming the preferred method as it provides a more intuitive feel for the cost. Processors these days are big chips, not 200 mils on a side. A microcontroller might be 200 mils, but you don't get $90 for those - more like $3. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. ~dbf
