    Dumb question: What unit of measurement is “A” in this context? Angstrom?

      yes angstrom. we are st the age of fab nodes where nm isnt precise enough measurmenet under 3nm

        Thanks. That’s what I thought but guess I couldn’t believe we were there. Last I really read (which has been a while), below 3nm, quantum tunneling became a problem. I guess we’ve addressed that in the fab process.

          Remember that the reported nm resolution is kinda arbitrary and laced with marketing wank.
