Moore's Law scales to at least 9nm: technologist
By Brian Fuller, EE Times

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—It'll be at least a human generation before Moore's Law begins to run out of gas at around the 9nm and even then it may thrive, TSMC's chief technologist said Tuesday (March 12). Calvin Chenming Hu told an audience at the annual Semico Summit conference here that the 9nm node "can be ready more or less on time, in 2028 according to long-term forecasts or 2024 according to the 2002 (industry roadmap)." Transistor and reliability physics allow for 9nm devices, although circuit and architectural innovations surely will be need to handle anticipated voltage of roughly 0.5V....
