Enabling an exponentially better future: A look at the evolution of Moore’s law innovation

History shows that the semiconductor industry has successfully innovated over many decades to overcome technological and economic barriers. This Moore’s Law pace of innovation has transformed semiconductors into a key economic driver that turbocharges our economy and serves as the foundation of technological advancement in every field ranging from healthcare and financial services to farming and supercomputers. The innovations by which Moore’s Law is achieved have evolved as the semiconductor industry seeks to meet the world’s dynamic, ever-increasing demand for compute in the most efficient possible manner. This talk discusses the progress of Moore’s Law and future advances in silicon and packaging technology that will enable the semiconductor industry to cater to the demand for increased compute, storage, connectivity, and the rapid growth of a new generation of technologies such as artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles. Reliability implications of the growth in large scale and zero fail applications are also briefly examined.
