Yousef, Motorola's Venkatesan had a different take on the issue, arguing that copper can be used to reduce both capacitance and resistance. "On most products, the most important capacitance is between metal lines on the same layers. If you use copper as the trace, it has about 30 percent less resistivity than aluminum, so you can make it 30 percent thinner. If the spacing is kept the same, the capacitance is reduced. techweb.com I guess you are saying that you feel that your information/understanding on this topic is better than the section manager for high-performance logic technology at Motorola. Are you sure? Pravin.
