Transistor count is the most common measure of chip complexity. SEM image of an integrated circuit showing defects in the aluminium layer deposition (shown in cyan). ...

According to the Moore's Law transistor counts of the integrated circuits grow exponentially. Growth of transistor counts for Intel processors (dots) and Moores Law (upper line=18 months; lower line=24 months) Moores law is about the empirical observation, that at our rate of technological development, the complexity of an integrated circuit, with respect to minimum component cost, will double in...
