The micro-chip is built with tiny electrical switches made of purified silicon called transistors and the law stated that the number of transistors on a chip would double every year. 微芯片上有许多由纯净硅制成的微型电子开关,它们被称作晶体管。而摩尔定律认为芯片上的晶体管数量每年都会翻倍。
According to the ITRS forecasts in 2009, the number of transistors on a single chip will reach to 10 billions in 2020. 按照ITRS2009年报告预测,到2020年单个芯片上的晶体管数目将达到100亿个。
