Voltage-squared. capacitance. when you go down the microns, your capacitance drops and the voltage squared goes down, too. 0.65nm is 1.2v 0.45 is aiming for 0.9 volts. silicon germanium is going to hit a limit real soon. you can't go below 0.8 volts, that's the gate "off" threshold. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
