Industry Overview - 1988 Edition

Summary : The sweeping revolution brought about by integrated circuits has caused change not only in electronics, but also in the very act of manufacturing the integrated circuit itself. Process equipment, assembly equipment test systems, factory management systems, and process control systems have evolved right along with the integrated circuit itself. New generations of manufacturing equipment have made it possible to integrate entire systems onto a single chip. Electromc systems engmeers no longer bu ... See More

Annexure :

Semiconductors have been at the center of high technology for four decades. In recent years, few other scientific topics have drawn so much of the world's attention. Semiconductors have become of such importance that many governments around the world view them as a strategic resource. Evidence of this can be seen not only in the various government subsidies, but also in the tremendous level of espionage-both industrial and political-that occurs in Silicon Valley.
