SEMICONDUCTORS.

Abstract

THE TRENDS IN THE PRESENT AND FUTURE SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY ARE PRESENTED AND THE POTENTIAL MARKET FOR THE SEMICUSTOMLOGIC CHIPS IS DISCUSSED. THE SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTION'S TURN TO GATE ARRAYS IS EMPHASIZED. USER DESIGNED LARGE SCALE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND PERHAPS THE VERY LARGE SCALE INTEGRATION ARE THE GOALS FOR THE INDUSTRY, WITH BOTH MOS AND BIPOLAR STRUCTURES BEING TRIED OUT AT THE SMALLER DIMENSION WITH BETTER ISOLATION AND LOWER RESISTANCE INTERCONNECTIONS.
