Abstract
It was almost 50 years ago that Gordon Moore observed – and then postulated– that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles every two years. Moore’s law is not, of course, a law of nature. It is rather a law of economics that has been relentlessly pursued by the semiconductor industry driven by the demand in increased functionality and complexity in computer and communication systems. In this talk we will review some of the technologies behind Moore’s law and the implications to the design of very complex SoCs with more than 1 billion transistors.
