Abstract

The increasing demand for higher computing power, smaller dimensions, and lower power consumption of integrated circuits leads to a pressing need to downscale semiconductor components. Moore’s law, which has continued unabated for 40 years, is the empirical observation that component density and performance of integrated circuits doubles every 2 years.
