feature size scaling

Feature size scaling refers to the process of making electronic components, like transistors on a chip, smaller to improve performance and efficiency. As features shrink from, say, 10 nanometers to 5 nanometers, devices can operate faster, use less power, and fit more components on a chip. This scaling follows principles like Moore’s Law, driving continual advancement in technology. However, smaller features also pose challenges, such as manufacturing difficulties and increased heat, requiring innovative solutions to maintain device reliability and performance.
