Yousef - Re: "16 Mbit SRAMs with a 5.59 mcell size have been built on this technology with excellent performance and yield." That is excellent process scaling ! The 6'th metal layer must do it! The 0.25 micron process had a 10.26 sq. micron Cell size (6 transistors). Scaling this would produce ((0.18/0.25)^2)*10.26 = 5.18 sq. micron and Intel achieved 5.59 - only 8% off THE theoretical shrink factor ! These small cells will come in handy as Intel crowds 1 or 2 million BYTES of Cache SRAM on to their new CPUs ! Paul
