- Smaller Circuits – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers developed way to make smaller circuits in microchips, paving way to continue Moore’s law and develop more powerful devices
- Tinier Patterns – Used self-assembling co-polymer layer that enabled smaller patterns of lines for circuits down to less than 10 nanometers to be created on chip, reducing patterns to quarter of previous size, allowing for more circuits to be crammed on single microchip
- Existing Manufacturing Methods – Combined several already existing manufacturing processes, such as lithography and chemical vapor deposition, enabling easy and low cost large-scale deployment of manufacturing process
