>In the microelectronics world, thinking in terms of femtofarads is >fairly commonplace. For example, in calculations of gate-source capacitances >for a minimum feature size MOS device. . The microelectronics world does not use SI units everywhere, however. It is commonplace to put (ignore the magnitudes, look at the mish-mash of units) a 5000 Angstrom thick 1 micron wide line on a 2000 square mil die on a 4 inch diameter wafer! This is changing, though. Fred -- Frederic W. Brehm Siemens Corporate Research Princeton, NJ fwb@demon.siemens.com -or- princeton!siemens!demon!fwb
