The first transistor was invented in 1947. By 1970, Intel commercialized the world’s first DRAM chip with about 1,500 transistors – a major feat! It was fabricated using a 10,000nm process on 3in wafers. Today, top component manufacturers are preparing sub-3nm processes on 12in wafers for DDR5 SDRAM components that have more than 32 billion transistors per chip. […]
