Question

The number of transistors on microprocessors is doubled every 18 months. What are the problems that may arise form shrinking the size of the transistor

Answer 1

Yes, by Moore's law, it is known that the number of transistors on a microprocessor is doubled every 18 months, resulting shrinking the size of the transistor. But it also reflects some problems like:

• We will be having less area for the transistor to be manufactured by the Fab team on the chip. So, it is a challenge for the Fab to be manufactured by taking a lot care
• The gap between the two transistors will also be less, so it may be a chance for shortening of the two side by side transistors, resulting the chip failure
• We will be facing IR issues due to the shrinking size of transistor
• The circuit also may become complex to develop
• The tools to be used to devolop the chip, also to be chosen with the correct specifications. Because some of the tools will not support for the fabrication of lower technology
