| "Moore's Law" Moore's Law states that the market demand (and semiconductor industry response) for functionality per chip (bits, transistors) doubles every one and a half to two years. |
| "More Moore" Traditional or geometrical scaling is accomplished by shrinking physical feature sizes of the digital functionalities (logic and memory storage) in order to improve density (cost per function reduction) and performance (speed, power). |
| Additionally, equivalent scaling, refers to 3-dimensional device structure improvements plus other non-geometrical process techniques and new materials that affect the electrical performance of the chip and achieve the same effect as traditional scaling in allowing the industry to continue to realize productivity gains and profits. |
“More than Moore” The "More-than-Moore" approach typically allows for the non-digital functionalities (e.g., wireless communication, power control, passive components, sensors, actuators) to migrate from the system board-level into a particular package-level (SiP) or chip-level (SoC) potential solution. |
| Several International Roadmap Committee members present these concepts and the impact of increasing domain of functional diversification, known as "More than Moore," on our industry and how the ITRS addresses the topic. |
