Haddock - Would it not be possible to do a short run of wafers with a smaller channel size? Yield would be poor, but the chips that worked might be expected to run faster.
Sure.
Let's say you wanted a handful of fast chips for demo purposes that would be one way to do that.
Haddock, While cherry pick sure doesn't reflect what is actually happening, which I assume is 'skewing the process' the term 'cherry pick--' is pretty widely accepted slang.
