Moore’s law (the colloquial term for 2D scaling) states that certain metrics of semiconductor technology performance proceed at a rate of approximately 2x every 2 years. It can refer to transistor size (channel length), density (gates / sq. mm), cost ($/gate), power (nA/gate), capacity (gates), or a combination of these. Indeed, over the last 2 decades we can draw a pretty straight line curve (log scale) to track the progress of these various metrics.
