Beschreibung:
This book provides a methodological understanding of the theoretical and technical limitations to the longevity of Moore's law. The book presents research on factors that have significant impact on the future of Moore's law and those factors believed to sustain the trend of the last five decades. Research findings show that boundaries of Moore's law primarily include physical restrictions of scaling electronic components to levels beyond that of ordinary manufacturing principles and approaching the bounds of physics. The research presented in this book provides essential background and knowledge.
