mark It seems in my memory all chips start out much bigger in micron at least 5. It takes years to reduce it to say .015. much testing actual chips have to be tested before reductions can take place. Am i missing something?

you just can not make a .015 chip from day 1. yes it is expensive but a gradual reduction is necessary. they had to do a good job to get this great chip called shboom. everybody copied it and used it they all just assume using our tech. would be free and no one would look to get paid. the question in my mind now where did the schematics come from and whose permission did we have to use them moore or fish. I know helmut paid to use them in the first place, but lacking correct signatures does create a problem sounds like mortgages
