Abstract :
In 1965, Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double every year for the next 10 years. Moore´s law is still in effect today, with more than a billion transistors able to fit on a chip as of 2010. This article revisits Moore´s law and the rise of microelectronics.
