Processing of a 300 mm (12-inch) diameter wafer in a leading-edge technology cost between \$5000 and \$6000 in 2010. Assuming a processed wafer cost of \$5500, the cost of the 1.00 cm2 die would be around \$13, but the cost per die of the 2.25 cm2 die would be about \$51, or almost four times the cost for a die that is a little over twice as large.
