Moore's Law (Moore's Law)
- Author
Moore's Law is one of the (Intel) Intel founder Gordon Moore (Gordon Moore) put forward.
- Which reads
When the price unchanged, the integrated circuit can accommodate the components number about every 18 to 24 months will be doubled, the performance will also be doubled.
In other words, every dollar can buy computer performance will double every 18-24 months or more. This law reveals the advances in information technology speeds .
- Future Trends
Although this trend has been going on for more than half a century, Moore's Law is still to be considered as observed or inferred, rather than a physical or natural law.
The law is expected to continue until at least 2015 or 2020. However, growth in 2010 to update the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors map has been slowed down by the end of 2013, after which time the number density of transistors only expected to doubling every three years .

- From a technical point of view
With the increase of the density of lines on a silicon wafer, its complexity and error rate also increases exponentially, but also to make a comprehensive and thorough test of the chip is almost impossible. Once the width of the line reaches the number of on-chip nanoscale, physical and chemical properties of the material will be a qualitative change, resulting in the semiconductor device using the existing technology does not work, Moore's Law will come to an end.
