The exponential increase in the density of integrated circuits (ICs) predicted by Moore's Law has been primarily driven by shrinking the dimensions of the individual semiconductor devices comprising these circuits. As semiconductor feature sizes shrink to the nanometer scale, device behavior becomes increasingly problematic as new physical phenomena at short dimensions occur and limitations in material properties are reached.
