Ian,

How come you are not replying to my post regarding this Copper technology?

Well, here is more I would like to add to:

Message 3820784.

The resistance which copper technology reduces is only the trace resistance! You still have the on-resistance of the junction to worry about. Guess which is overwhelmingly dominant? Right, the junction, not the metal trace. So that 30% reduction in trace resistance is really negligible.

When IBM made this information public, I believe it is not really hyping it. This company traditionally takes pride in its technology and make it very obvious known to the world. Remember a few years ago, IBM was bragging about how it can deposit single atom, one at a time.

It was the analysts who barely understood Ohm's Law (V = I R) really hyped it beyond all possible means.

John.
