Moore’s law [Noy77], which predicted that the number of devices integrated on a chip would be doubled every two years, was accurate for a number of years. Only recently has the level of integration be gun to slow down somewhat due to the physical limits of integration technology. Advances in silicon technology have allowed IC designers to integrate more than a few million transistors on a chip; even a whole system of moderate complexity can now be implemented on a single chip.
