Abstract :
Semiconductor advances over the past three decades have been tremendous. They have engendered a new economy of continuously failing electronics prices and increasing systems capabilities - all driven fundamentally by increased integrated circuit yields. For these trends to continue, process technology advances must be matched by investments in design technology for application-oriented system chips.
