If the law continues on its merry way, transistors will be the size of individual silicon atoms within two decades. More to the point, they have already shrunk to a size where every atom counts. Too few atoms can cause their insulation to break down, or allow current to leak to places it is not supposed to be because of a phenomenon called quantum tunnelling. Too many atoms of the wrong sort, though, can be equally bad, interfering with a transistor's conductivity. Engineers are therefore endeavouring to redesign transistors yet again, so that Dr Moore's prediction can remain true a little longer. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
