This law is named after the co-founder of Intel (and recently deceased) Gordon Moore, who posited this doubling in 1965.

Key Points: 
  • This law is named after the co-founder of Intel (and recently deceased) Gordon Moore, who posited this doubling in 1965.
  • An end to Moore's law is not inherently a bad thing or, at least, it wouldn't be if it existed in a vacuum.
  • While this area of silicon photonics is now well-developed, optical compute has been a trickier riddle to solve.
  • IDTechEx's latest report, " Semiconductor Photonic Integrated Circuits 2023-2033 ", answers the major questions, challenges and opportunities faced by photonic integrated circuit technologies.
