Moore’s law

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007571",
  "term": "Moore’s law",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An observation that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years, leading to a corresponding increase in computational power. In polymer lithography, this trend drives the demand for photoresist materials with ever-increasing resolution to pattern smaller and smaller features. The law is not a physical law but an empirical projection of historical trends in semiconductor manufacturing.",
  "subject": "Polymer",
