  • Abstract
    By traditional standards, virtually all state-of-the-art technology offerings are, to some degree, modular. The role of various modular process technologies on systems-on-a-chip is explored. Keys to successful development of modular process technology are reviewed. Examples of modular process technology usage for the VLSI system chips are given, along with potential and actual issues encountered. Cost/benefit issues are examined and the future of modular process technology and system-on-a-chip design is explored
