INTRODUCTION TO MOSFET SCALING

The lateral dimensions and interconnect of the IC are reduced.

This reduction in size is known as Scaling .
Minimum feature size is the smallest size of the IC(gate length or
the interconnect).
Minimum feature size has shrunk over the time of several years.
As a result the number of transistors on the IC has increased a lot
