Advances in integrated circuits

Is much less affected by the performance of integrated circuits because the small size of the output logic allows low-power (such as CMOS) used in the fast conversion speed allowed.Progress and constantly over the years have migrated to smaller feature sizes, allowing more to be packed on the circuit chip. Can be reduced this ability to increase the unit cost and / or function of increasing Moore's law, which, in modern interpretation, and said that the number of transistors on a circuit doubles every two years to see. Generally, also reduced the size of the feature, almost everything better, and cost per unit down and switch the use of force, and faster. However, integrated circuits nanometer scale with the devices to their problems, including the main without leakage current (subthreshold leakage her to see the debate), although the problems are not insurmountable and can be solved and will, or at least improve how low in the early - Coatings . Since the use of speed and power benefits the end user is displayed, and there for the use of geometric shapes minute intense competition between manufacturers. This process, is defined as the expected growth in the next few years, as well as the international road map for technology Semiconductors (ITRS) before.
