"well more steps = more to go wrong, = less parts make it all the way through"

Oh, I thought you wanted some idea of what kind of impact there would be. Yeah, the more manufacturing steps you have, the more likely something is to go wrong. As wanna_bmw points out, the addition steps also impacts the throughput.

Bill,

I see, well more steps = more to go wrong, = less parts make it all the way through, however once fine tuned and working losses can be low.

There are gains too. Ability to have more complex design, smaller distances (lower delays), possibility to pack more transistors in the same area.

Joe
