Small correction (graciously pointed out via PM to me) ... Wafer size is diameter, not radius, so we're actually dealing with 11 and 1.51.5, but the ratio and percentage change is the same. Pete (Like I said the first time, it was long ago ;-)

No problem with my math, but my reading comprehension failed to make the grade. Incidently, it was a long, long time ago, (just after the school house) that I played with such small wafers but I seemed to remember that increasing the diameter actually gave a somewhat higher than geometric related yield boost. It may have been due to the die loss on the edge or maybe I've forgotten whether a shrink was involved. I have the same problem as Unclewest:"a great memory...but it doesn't last long." Fatboy
