Hey, you are right. I thought about that right after I posted my comment but the devil is in the details.
As you shrink the contacts and the metals their resistance and capacitance exponentially increase. This means that both your power will go up and your speeds will go down. Also the process becomes more prone to manufacturing errors. So shrinking those elements blindly without innovation just to increase the density numbers is not really a good metric of the quality of the process.
- manholio 4y agoHow about: transistor switches /( s * mm * Joule) ? Koomey's law seems to hold strong.
- mattaldisi 4y agoI did not know about it, thanks! It looks like it is holding well. I work in Analog so I'd like a more analog based definition (which also works for digital tbh) based on size or density, trans-conductance(gm), output resistance (ro), and Unity frequency (fT) but that's never going to happen :<
