| Summary |
"Moore's Law speculated a trend in computation technology in terms of number of transistors per unit area that would double roughly every two years. Even after 40 years of this prediction, current technologies have been following it successfully. There are however, certain physical limitations of current CMOS that would result in fundamental obstructions to continuation of Moore's Law. Although there is a debate amongst experts on how much time it would take for this to happen, it is certain that some entirely new paradigms for semiconductor electronics would be needed to replace CMOS and to delay the end of Moore's Law. Silicon nanowires (SiNW) and Carbon nanotubes (CNT) possess significant promise to replace current CMOS"--Abstract, leaf iv. |
