Re:Going 3D (Score 2)

If I remember right, resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-section area of the wire (i.e. how fat the wire is), but also directly proportional to lenght. something like R = K L/A, where K is some constant Assuming we're only changing dimensions in the x and y directions, L and A will be reduced by the same factor. i.e. smaller by a factor of s implies R = K (s*L / s*A). I'm asusming the z axis is not affected by this technology because that part of manufacturing is controlled by chemical reaction rates, instead of photolithography. If z were reduced to, A would be sized by a factor of s^2 instead of just s. So, I could be wrong, but it seems to me that if the x and y dimensions were reduced by the same factor, the effective resistance would remain the same.
