Needs fF in the first table edit

1 fF is about the gate capacitance of a MOSFET in an integrated circuit. If I recall, gate cap was about 1 fF per square micron, ca. 2000, and as things have scaled the cap per area has gone up but the typical gate areas have gone down, so it's still at that order of magnitude. I'm sure you can find sources to get more quantitative. Dicklyon (talk) 15:02, 5 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

I added the only figure I could find well referenced: 2 fF/µm of gate width. —Edgar.bonet (talk) 16:42, 4 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
