Abstract
The profitability and therefore the success of our semiconductor industry in the 21st century will depend on our ability to drive productivity improvements at or near historic levels. The equation is simple: as we continue to drive down cost per function, we create more demand, our end customers use our chips to develop new applications and new markets, and we, in turn, grow our revenues and profits.
