Photo by Jeremy Zero on Unsplash THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SEMICONDUCTOR ROADMAP The semiconductor industry has enjoyed the success of doubling (every two years) the number of transistors in a silicon chip, which has allowed semiconductor companies worldwide, to offer novel semiconductor products and solutions. This is exactly what Moore’s law predicted when it was proposed around four decades ago. Increasing transistor density per given area allows computer systems to cater to multiple (and numerous too) requests at the same time. This is why in 2021 a smartphone is capable of crunching the data that in the 1980s would require a giant server. However, as the semiconductor world marches towards 3nm mass production (with 2nm already showcased by IBM), there is a growing concern about whether or not Moore’s law will keep pace […]
