Scaling Theory

Scaling Theory is a theoretical framework within the study of critical phenomena that formalizes the universal behavior of physical systems near phase transitions by identifying how measurable properties transform under changes in scale, particularly in the context of device miniaturization in metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors.
