Getting Smaller - .90nm

Or we could be less lazy and use ALT+230 on our keyboards to write µm. But us engineers gotta conserve keystrokes.

Note my earlier astonishment about electronics reaching the atomic scale ;P

I wonder, will we one day see transistors in which the gate length is measured in atoms? How such a thing is built would be an intresting question to (I suppose it would have to be E-beam, or possibly gamma ray. I don't think X-ray will do it...)

It's be really fun when you order one and you open the box and it falls out. I really don't want to have to use tweezers and a magnifying glass to install my processor.

Oh -

ALT+230 doesn't do anything on my system (gentoo).

µ hmm..it does on mine

and if they get so small as to the size is counting atoms, then they won't even let you assemble them..OCers won't even exsist then probably.

lol, sorry I forgot that it was microns we were dealing with. I just took the number at face value (.90 nanometers) and did the math on it.

I agree in the um thing though. My brain automatically converts that to micrometers/microns, and it's a lot easier than writing out the evil mu on my keyboard

never seen anyone so deeply into computers and pokemon at the same time.
