Docket #:

This Proposal has been approved, and is now a Milestone


To the proposer’s knowledge, is this achievement subject to litigation?


Is the achievement you are proposing more than 25 years old? Yes

Is the achievement you are proposing within IEEE’s designated fields as defined by IEEE Bylaw I-104.11, namely: Engineering, Computer Sciences and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, and Law and Policy. Yes

Did the achievement provide a meaningful benefit for humanity? Yes

Was it of at least regional importance? Yes

Has an IEEE Organizational Unit agreed to pay for the milestone plaque(s)? Yes

Has an IEEE Organizational Unit agreed to arrange the dedication ceremony? Yes

Has the IEEE Section in which the milestone is located agreed to take responsibility for the plaque after it is dedicated? Yes

Has the owner of the site agreed to have it designated as an IEEE Milestone? Yes


Year or range of years in which the achievement occurred:

1965

Title of the proposed milestone:

Moore’s Law -Predicts Integrated Circuit Complexity Growth, 1965

Plaque citation summarizing the achievement and its significance:

Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Fairchild and Intel, contributed to the development of silicon transistor technology at Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory beginning in 1956. His prediction in 1965, known as Moore’s “Law,” that the maximum number of components at minimum manufacturing cost per component (later modified to transistor) on integrated circuits will increase at an exponential rate served as a driving principle of the semiconductor electronics industry for over 50 years.

200-250 word abstract describing the significance of the technical achievement being proposed, the person(s) involved, historical context, humanitarian and social impact, as well as any possible controversies the advocate might need to review.


IEEE technical societies and technical councils within whose fields of interest the Milestone proposal resides.


In what IEEE section(s) does it reside?

Santa Clara Valley Section

IEEE Organizational Unit(s) which have agreed to sponsor the Milestone:

IEEE Organizational Unit(s) paying for milestone plaque(s):


IEEE Organizational Unit(s) arranging the dedication ceremony:


IEEE section(s) monitoring the plaque(s):


Milestone proposer(s):


Please note: your email address and contact information will be masked on the website for privacy reasons. Only IEEE History Center Staff will be able to view the email address.

Street address(es) and GPS coordinates in decimal form of the intended milestone plaque site(s):

California Ave and San Antonio Rd. Mountain View, CA 94040

Describe briefly the intended site(s) of the milestone plaque(s). The intended site(s) must have a direct connection with the achievement (e.g. where developed, invented, tested, demonstrated, installed, or operated, etc.). A museum where a device or example of the technology is displayed, or the university where the inventor studied, are not, in themselves, sufficient connection for a milestone plaque.

Please give the address(es) of the plaque site(s) (GPS coordinates if you have them). Also please give the details of the mounting, i.e. on the outside of the building, in the ground floor entrance hall, on a plinth on the grounds, etc. If visitors to the plaque site will need to go through security, or make an appointment, please give the contact information visitors will need. Technology Plaza will be an historic site as well as a link to the present. It is open to the public

Are the original buildings extant?

No

Details of the plaque mounting:

It will be mounted within the Plaza. Exact spot TBD

How is the site protected/secured, and in what ways is it accessible to the public?

Plaque will be securly attached. Plaza is open to the public

Who is the present owner of the site(s)?

MerloneGeier Partners

What is the historical significance of the work (its technological, scientific, or social importance)? If personal names are included in citation, include justification here. (see section 6 of Milestone Guidelines)

Moore’s Law Predicts Integrated Circuit Complexity Growth. "Since its inceptionover 50yers ago, today, Moore's Law has ben a safe bet - it is the oen immutable rule that drives Silicon Valley ." Pete Carey, San Jose Mecury News, April 19, 2015. Moores Law is a prediction That has been true for over 5 decades.

What obstacles (technical, political, geographic) needed to be overcome?

None

What features set this work apart from similar achievements?

Moore’s Law Predicts Integrated Circuit Complexity Growth Although there are many papers predicting the growth of Silicon Technology, none does it in the crisp manner as Moore's Law. Moores Law is a prediction that has been true for over 5 decades.

Supporting texts and citations to establish the dates, location, and importance of the achievement: Minimum of five (5), but as many as needed to support the milestone, such as patents, contemporary newspaper articles, journal articles, or chapters in scholarly books. 'Scholarly' is defined as peer-reviewed, with references, and published. You must supply the texts or excerpts themselves, not just the references. At least one of the references must be from a scholarly book or journal article. All supporting materials must be in English, or accompanied by an English translation.
