    Device scaling refers to the reduction of chip dimensions to enhance performance, density, and power efficiency. Integrated circuits (ICs) are small electronic devices containing numerous interconnected components, while MOSFET scaling aims to improve performance features without altering operational characteristics. Moore's Law predicts that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every 18 months, leading to increased computing power.

    What is Device Scaling ?
    Device scaling is the process of reducing the
    dimensions of a chip by a factor, which results in
    performance and density gains, and reduced power
    consumption.

    What is Integrated Circuit ?


    An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a chip, is a
    small electronic device that contains hundreds or
    millions of interconnected electronic components
    (such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors) on a
    semiconductor material.
    Definition of MOSFET Scaling :-
     Scaling of a MOS transistor means reducing the critical parameter of
    the device in accordance with a given criterion in order to improve
    some performance features such as Speed, Application, Power
    Dissipation, and so on while keeping the basic operational
    characteristics unchanged.

    Advantages of scaling in
    •MOSFET :-
    Packaging Density: The packing density of the
    device improves as a result of scaling hence we can
    fit more transistors in the same space as before.
    • Size Chip: As we can pack more number of
    transistors in the same space hence, we can
    decrease the overall area of the chip.
    • Multifunction of Chip: As transistor size is
    reduced, we can make multifunctional chips by
    Types of Scaling in MOSFETs :-

     Scaling can be classified into three categories,


    which are detailed below.
    • Constant Field Scaling or Full Scaling. (scaling
    all the dimensions of transistor, device voltages and the doping
    concentration densities by some factor ‘s’)

    • Constant Voltage Scaling. (the supply voltage VDD is


    kept constant while the physical parameters are scaled down)

    • Lateral Scaling. (In lateral scaling only the gate length is


    scaled. This is also called as the "gate shrinking".)
    Changes in parameters of MOSFET after
    Scaling.
    A.) Classification of ICs
     Classification by Application
    a.) Linear (Analog) IC
    b.) Digital IC
     Classification by Fabrication
    a.) Monolithic IC’s
    b.) Hybrid IC’s
     Classification on the basis of number of components

    b.) Medium Scale Integration (MSI)
    c.) Large Scale Integration (LSI)
    d.) Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI)
    e.) Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI)
     Classification on the basis of packing density
    a.) SSI :
    b.) MSI :
    c.) LSI :
    d.) VLSI :
    e.) ULSI :
    where, ( = no. of elements contained in a unit area of
    the chip and Q = scale of Integration)
     Classification on the basis of technology
    a.) BJT IC’s
    b.) MOS IC’s
    B.) Moore's Law Gordon E. Moore

     The number of transistors per square inch on integrated

    circuits had doubled every year since their invention

    named after him
    The number of transistors per square inch has doubled
     He published this article on 19th
