Microelectronics engineer

Ever heard of Moore’s Law? In the 1970s, based on his empirical observations, Gordon E. Moore extrapolated and predicted that the number of transistors per microprocessor will double roughly every two years, suggesting microprocessors will get exponentially more and more powerful over time. Indeed, between 1971 and 2001, the size of transistors didn’t stop decreasing, with their density doubling almost every two years (bravo, Mr Moore!). However, as of 2021, his law seems to have reached its limits, because the size of a transistor can’t go below a certain value... One solution would be to stack them and build 3D chips vertically. Only the future will tell if we can continue to rely on Moore’s Law!
