Semiconductors are a marvel of modern technology and the foundation of our digital world.The chips powering modern smartphones contain more than 15 billion transistors, each smaller than a virus and capable of switching on and off billions of times per second. The semiconductors at the heart of today’s AI data centers can contain hundreds of billions of transistors, a number so high that if you counted one transistor per second, it would take more than 6,000 years to count all the transistors on a single chip.
