Abstract
The remarkable success of the semiconductor industry is well described by 'Moore's law', essentially a prescription for future progress made back in 1965, which has held to the present day: every three years will see a new generation of memory chips and microprocessors, in which the device size will reduce by 33%, the chip size will increase by 50%, and the number of components on a chip will quadruple . This has fuelled a thirst for cheaper electronic memory and increasingly powerful microprocessors that has yet to be satisfied.Keywords
