Overview

While 'Moore's Law' focuses on traditional digital scaling (smaller, faster transistors), 'More than Moore' refers to the integration of non-digital functions into the same package or chip.

Key Areas

  • Analog/Mixed-Signal: Integrating power management and RF (radio frequency) components.
  • Sensors & Actuators: MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) for motion, pressure, or chemical sensing.
  • Bio-chips: Integrating biological or chemical analysis capabilities.
  • 3D Integration: Using TSVs and chiplets to increase density without shrinking transistors.

Significance

MtM is critical as traditional scaling becomes increasingly difficult and expensive, allowing for continued innovation in IoT, automotive, and medical electronics.
