Milo, "..here are some more detail links. yes I know you don't need them. I was posting for Lurkers." Thank you, these links are somewhat better. The problem is that these levels of "presentation" may create a false impression of simplicity. I'll tell you: the Intel level is total BS. Your new links are at basic introductory level for technicians. The Britney physics guide is kind of to start with. Unfortunately, we are talking here about things two-three levels higher, about complex field geometries and pure materials to operate in 100kV/cm fields. It is not even about applying known engineering formulas, it is a real frontier of device physics, with heavy chemistry and material science. I am very sorry that things are not so simple as those three-four web pages. I am not sure about "Lurkers", but even I, being a professional in certain fields of physics, mathematics, and recently electronics, am having difficulties to comprehend the scope of problems behind the leakage effect, especially when not working in this field, and without any fab information. I can only ascertain the fact of excessive leakage in Intel devices, that's it. "You seem to always want to teach people" Sorry, old professional habits. I promise to improve myself and behave better ;-) - Ali PS: I think it is possible to start with this: google.com and look into something like this: www-device.eecs.berkeley.edu plus something related to this: ate.agilent.com Or the closest so far: www-3.ibm.com
