Introduction

Semi-conductor industry has followed Moore's first lawMoore's first law
summary:

The number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years (1965)

. He corrected the law by predicting the doubling of the number of transistors in 18 months to 24 in 1975. Rock's law or Moore's second lawMoore's second law
summary:

The cost of a semiconductor chip fabrication plant doubles every four years
~ Arthur Rock or Gordon Moore


is a corollary to the first law but more in an economic sense.

Intel ruled the semiconductor industry and other companies soon started falling in line to stay with the trend. In 2015, ITRS(International Technology Roadmap), the international body which looked after the evolution of the semi-conductor industry declared an end to Moore's law and formed a chapter in IEEE, IEEE Rebooting Computing Initiative, to form a new Transclusion
