Fun fact about "antennas" in chip manufacturing: They have nothing to do with actual antennas. Charge can build up on long wires during manufacturing because the chemicals involved are not neutral and have some interactions with exposed wires. That charge needs to go somewhere to protect the rest of the circuits. There's nothing RF about this. Later technologies (28 nm and below) have extensive design rules around prevention of "antenna" effects. | ||||||||

I think that’s incorrect. The article and the Wikipedia page on the antenna effect say antenna effects are caused by plasma etching, which uses RF to create the plasma. | ||||||||
