Have you guys ever heard about Moore’s law? If no, it’s fine, there is something called Moore’s law that gives the relation between passing of time with the increase in number of transistor on a chip.
Moore’s laws that the number of transistors on the silicon chip will double every two years.
Due to advancement in the fabrication technology transistor size has been reduced tremendously from μm (micro-meter) size to nm (nano-meter) which none less than a miracle.
- 1971 – 10 μm
- 1976 – 03 μm
- 1982 – 1.5 μm
- 1989 – 1 μm
- 1995 – 0.5 μm
- 1999 – 0.25 μm
- 2000 – 180 nm
- 2006 – 65 nm
- 2011 – 32 nm
- 2017 – 14 nm
- 2017 – 5 nm (By IBM, for research purpose, not for commercial purposes)
How amazing is this to imagine that what will be the size of future transistors?
