Abstract
Developments in microelectronics during 1984 are reviewed. These include: mixing power and logic on the same chip; progress in wafer-scale integration; new packages that improve on DIPs; and fast design turnaround springing from the availability of relatively inexpensive silicon compilers for commercial IC design.
