5 Questions
What advantages do ICs have over discrete components?
Size, speed, power, lower power consumption, integrated circuit manufacturing versatility
How does the smaller size of IC components affect speed and power consumption?
Smaller size yields higher speed and lower power consumption due to smaller parasitic resistances, capacitances, and inductances
Why is switching between '0' and '1' much faster on chip than between chips?
Switching is faster on chip due to the smaller size and lower parasitic resistances, capacitances, and inductances
What is the significance of Moore's Law in the semiconductor industry?
Moore's Law observed the doubling of transistors on ICs with the release of each new IC generation, influencing the continuous technology scaling in the semiconductor industry
Who observed the trends in the industry leading to Moore's Law?
Gordon E. Moore, Chairman Emeritus of Intel Corporation
