Answer

$l_{max} = 13 \mu m$

Work Step by Step

To find the maximum dimension, use the formula $l_{max} = \sqrt \frac{A}{N} $ Where Size of chips, $A = 0.0254 m \times 0.0222 m$ Numbers of transistors on the chip, $N = 3.5 \times 10^6$ $l_{max} = \sqrt \frac{0.0254 m \times 0.0222 m}{3.5 \times 10^6} $ $l_{max} = 1.3 \times 10^{-5}$ $l_{max} = 13 \mu m$
