Abstract
The article discusses the progress of integrated electronics in terms of Gordon Moore's observation that the number of components on a single piece of silicon had doubled every year since the invention. This observation has become known as Moore's law. The contributions of device miniaturization and chip size to the increasing content of a chip were also discussed. The number of devices on a chip was found to increase faster than the chip area per pixel area.
