Performance Task: Part 3 - Design your own What if you could design your own processor? How small would you make it? How many transistors could you fit on it? The size of transistors has decreased dramatically since they were first invented. Assume you will use transistors that are approximately rectangular and measure 35nm by 14nm. an Area of one nanometer = 14 435 35nm 490 nm? 3. Select a chip size that sounds impressive (eg, a fingernail). Find its area. (You may choose to research the area or calculate it after taking measurements.) Microchip Design Shape Area: b. Find the number of transistors that you will be able to fit on your chosen area. Number of transistors that will fit on my microchip Expanded Form Scientific Notation: c. If transistors costs 50.000000003 USD each, find the cost of the transistors on your chip Total cost of Transistors on my chip = Number of transistors x 0.000000003 USD Number of Transistors x 3 10 14 Area of one nanometer = 14 x 35 3sum nm I a. Select a chip size that sounds impressive (e.g. a fingernail). Find its area. (You may choose to research the area or calculate it after taking measurements.)
