Hi BB: I was thinking on your line. Shrinking from .35mu to .30 may be optical shrink. But migrating to .25 micron may require new set of design rules as mentioned in your post. The point is that migration is not that difficult and it is more preffered. Engineers would love to do that and companies would like to move towards that route. Another point to remember every single chip manufacturer have their roadmaps. Almost 90% of them prefer to migrate to .20 or .16 micron by the year 2000. Therefore industry acceptance is guaranteed. Another point we have to remember is that companies who specialize in simulation software like cadence and others will prosper as well Regards Kumar
