Re: That gives me a lot of confidence that the SOI = a No-op, waste of time and money

Do you think AMD has gotten any advantage from copper on .18? Or do you expect AMD to get as much of a boost going from copper .18 to copper .13 as Intel gets going from AL .18 to copper .13?

Remember that all Intel representatives have sworn that there was no benefit to Copper on .18.

Note that AMD showed micrographs of transistors they'd manufactured with 5 nm gate lengths using a ".13" copper process in a slide show given in 1999. They were reporting on the results of 198nm stepper tests performed at their submicron development FAB.

That was Dan3's comment on the benefit of SOI, not mine.

I think that SOI produces little or no benefit on transistor speed and will probably produce a yield decrease that is worse than any possible speed benefit.
