Abstract :
Major changes will be needed in widely accepted fabrication practices to make the one-month chip a feasible attainment throughout the semiconductor industry. That fabricators can do the job in the two weeks allotted to them ¿ chip design accounts for the first two weeks ¿ is already being demonstrated by some chip manufacturers.
