Maxwell,

Re: "The polygate CD of the PII-400 is already at 0.18um."

No, Maxwell ... The nominal gate CD for the PII-400 is .20um while the
fast case poly CD is .18um. Intel's .18um process will have a nominal
poly CD slightly <.15um . As you can clearly see, Maxwell ... AMD is a
process generation behind.

Make It So,
Yousef

Maxwell - Re: " If so what would the gate be, 0.15um?"

My guess is that minimum poly CDs will be less than 0.15 micron, and Leff will be even smaller, for the 0.18 micron process.

Remember - reducing the feature size is only one aspect of new technologies. Reducing the SPACES (Distance between active circuits) is equally important for die size reduction.
