The exponential growth of this industry was correlated with the phenomenon famously discovered by Moore1, who in 1965 drew a graph of the speed of integrated circuits2, based on the number of transistors3 that could be placed on a chip4, and showed that it doubled about every two years5, a trajectory6 that could be expected to continue7.

半导体产业的爆炸式发展与摩尔发现的著名现象有关，他在1965年绘制的一张图表显示，集成电路每个芯片所能容纳的晶体管数目大约每两年就会翻一番，而且这一趋势还会继续。

长难句解析

解:主句1+定语从句2+状语3+定语从句4+宾语从句5+同位语6+定语从句7

析：该句包含一个由关系词“who”引导的定语从句“who in 1965 drew a graph ...continue”, 关系词指代位于其前的“Moore”；“ that could be placed on a chip”是由“that”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“ transistors”；“that it doubled about every two years”是由“that”引导的宾语从句；“that could be expected to continue”是由“that”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“trajectory”。
