Re: "What I'm more bothered than being unhappy is that the best DC performance devices, like Intel's, don't yield the fastest AC circuits." What comparison are you referring to? Did you normalize the AC performance for off current? Unless a careful comparison is made, the conclusions can be misleading. THE WATSONYOUTH

Zorro - Re: "At IEDM notched gates were more ridiculed than admired. Some people were commenting that defects became features" Of course they were ridiculed - ridiculed by all the engineers from all the other companies that suddenly realized they were EVEN FURTHER BEHIND INTEL than they had thought ! Since when is technology success governed by a popularity vote ? Answer - NEVER ! That is why the HAVE-NOTS - were ridiculing the "HAVES" ! Accept it - Zorro ! Intel's got notched gates, the notched gates are providing a performance boost and Intel's got them in production. You are clearly a HAVE NOT ! Paul
