6.012 - Microelectronic Devices and Circuits, Fall 2009 - 11/5/09 posting CMOS Scaling Trends Snapshots from 40 and 10 years ago. From: “Design Challenges in Multi-GHz Microprocessors,” by Bill Herrick, Alpha/Compaq, MIT VLSI Symposium, 2/15/00 Moore’s Law: the trend that the demand for IC functions and the capacity of the semiconductor industry to meet that demand, will double every 1.5 to 2 years.
