At 6 nanometres in length, this new transistor is at least 10 times smaller than the state-of-the-art transistors in production today. The Consortium of International Semiconductor Companies in its 2001 International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors projected that transistors have to be smaller than 9 nanometres by 2016 in order to continue the performance trend. IBM is the first company to make working transistors below that gate length.
