Ten,

Is there not a limit to which the voltage may dropped? If so, what is this limit given the current state of the art?

It used to take 0.7 volts to forward bias a silicon junction (I may be dating myself, but this was basic knowledge a couple of decades ago). I am sure things have changed since then, but there still has to be some kind of limit.

TIA

Jim

Tench - RE: "I'll give you an answer. The answer is yes. And your point would be ... ?"

Why is the voltage drop so low?

When the PII went from being made on the .35 process to the .25 process, wasn't the voltage drop much more?
