They make them smaller for cost reasons, you can put more dies (chips) on a single wafer, which makes them cheaper. That's not quite the same as yield... VERY LARGE ICs have been made in the past, but they are very expensive to make because the yields are so poor. Well,

As for the resolution needed to equal 35mm film, I think I have seen it quoted that it would need about 8-10 Megapixels. It is quite simple to calculate, and, of course, depends on what film you want to try to 'emulate'. At 5080DPI Plus-X does not reveal grain. That means 5080 x 1 x 5080 x
