Abstract :
The article discusses the progress of integrated electronics in terms of Gordon Moore´s observation that the number of components on a single piece of silicon had doubled every year since the invention. This observation has become known as Moore´s law. The contributions of device miniaturization and chip size to the increasing content of a chip were also discussed. The number of devices on a chip was found to increase faster than the chip area per pixel area.
