Abstract
The computer has changed every aspect of the modern world. It almost seems that this burst of technological advance in computers will continue without limit. One can go and buy a computer with more “gigahertz” today for less that another bought one for the week before. Gordon Moore, of Intel Corp., predicted this trend of scaling the transistor down every 18 months . This scaling is the reason we have seen prices continue to drop, number of transistors per chip to increase, and the personal computer become an everyday thing in most people’s lives. Though many have predicted an end to “Moore’s Law” of scaling the transistor, it has continued since the seventies.
