Solutions Manual - Microelectronic Circuit Design - 4th Ed




By Richard C. Jaeger, Travis N. Blalock - McGraw-Hill (2010)



NOTE: these answers are for the International Edition (?)



But they’re still very similar to the original (sometimes a, b, c, d answers will be switched around, and
some numbers may be a little off. As a general rule, subtract 3 from the answer you are looking for
and that should be the real one)

No, this distance corresponds to the diameter of only a few atoms. Also, the wavelength of the
radiation needed to expose such patterns during fabrication is represents a serious problem.

1.7
From Fig. 1.4, there are approximately 600 million transistors on a complex Pentium IV
microprocessor in 2004. From Prob. 1.4, the number of transistors/P will be 8.85 x 1010. in
2020. Thus there will be the equivalent of 8.85x1010/6x108 = 148 Pentium IV processors.
