Moore's law states that the number of transistors doubles on an IC or computer chip every twoyears. Mathematically it is written as: n_{2}=n_{1} * 2^{\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right) / 2} n₂ is the number of transistors (or equivalent computing power) in any given year y₂ and ₁ is the number of transistors in any other earlier year y₁. The characteristic channel length L of a MOSFET transistor is inversely proportional to the number of transistors n on an IC. Current technology is at 14 nm. Using the formula \lambda=h /\left(m_{e} v\right) to determine the limit of the technology node (in meters). Using this limit, determine the year y₂ when we reach the estimated quantum limit of device scaling based on the Moore's Law.Assume that the electron mass = 9.11x10-3¹ kg, the speed of the electron is ½ the speed oflight.
