By far, the most common digital integrated circuits built today use CMOS logic, which is fast, offers high circuit density and low-power per gate.

Even with this advanced packaging the circuit density was low even by 1990s standards, at about 96,000 gates per cubic inch.

Components became much smaller and component placement on both sides of a board became far more common with surface mounting than through-hole mounting, allowing much higher circuit densities.

Evidence for this decline is that the rise in computer clock rates is slowing, even while Moore's prediction of exponentially increasing circuit density continues to hold.

Digital design focuses on logical correctness, maximizing circuit density, and placing circuits so that clock and timing signals are routed efficiently.

Each step thus increases circuit density for a given area.

But integrated circuit density hasn't been the only computing tech which has shown extremely rapid progress over the past thirty years.

A similar case was observed for the short circuit current density, Jsc (Figure 3(b)).

My circuit density has been increased by several orders of magnitude by my interaction with a powerful computer located on Timshel.

In contrast, higher resolution and smaller structures are necessary in electronics printing, because they directly affect circuit density and functionality (especially transistors).
