Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Today, transistors can be 2, 000 times thinner than a sheet of paper.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -2 nanometers. Suffice it to say, it would be impossible to create a silicon transistor smaller than that.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transistors per integrated circuit – The most popular formulation is of the doubling of the number of transistors on ICs every two years. At the end of the 1970s, Moore’s law became known as the limit for the number of transistors on the most complex chips. The graph at the top shows this trend holds true today.

Detailed explanation-3: -“In the future, it will be almost impossible for people to make a gate length smaller than 0.34 nm, ‘’ Ren notes. “This could be the last node for Moore’s law.” In 2021, a different group reported a vertical transistor made using molybdenum disulfide with a gate length of 0.65 nm in its on state.
