Gopher: The conclusion of the Intel researchers seems to be that SOI works great on .18 but by extrapolation it will not be nearly as good on .10. But at these dimensions perhaps some of the relationships they assume are linear become less so? Why did Intel not actually experiment with both processes at .13? IBM did so and they are saying that SOI is a huge advantage. I find it very odd that IBM says that SOI becomes increasingly important the finer (lower Leff) the process, whereas Intel claims the exact opposite. Obviously, they cannot both be right. -fyo
