You may be right and those shapes could be perfectly arbitrary. As far as the process, I am using optical imaging so I can't resolve anything smaller than a few microns. Not that any transistors can be seen under the metal anyway. I think the via optimizations that you mention are simply an increase in surface area to give better impedance performance.

These shapes are used more and more. Is the process 90nm or 65nm? The vias are not “letters”, they’re just optimized vias AFAIK. These shapes are used more and more. Is the process 90nm or 65nm?

I have just installed Hugin with autopana and have successfully made the "panorama" of this weeks IC Friday chip. Looks nicer than having to look through all of the 4x images.

If you know of some free program to do this let me know and I will try to make the composite image next time. Thanks for the compliment.
