Current density is ~100M (1E8) transistors/mm^2, Assuming transistors with a side of ~10 atoms (and bond length 0.5nm) that means we could get ~4E12 transistors

Current density is ~100M (1E8) transistors/mm^2, Assuming transistors with a side of ~10 atoms (and bond length 0.5nm) that means we could get ~4E12 transistors/mm^2. This is almost certainly over optimistic but still it shows that we are orders of magnitude away from limits due to "atomic nature" of matter.
- ComputerGuru 7y agoI think you first need to switch to transistors/nm^3 rather than thinking only in 2d.
- ivalm 7y agoRight now these are planar devices. If you stack you can get orders of magnitude more. That's why you can get absurd memory capacities in things like nitrogen defect diamonds [0].
