Abstract :
A historical review of the chip industry will be provided with the emphasis on the cyclical nature between standardization direction and customization direction. The basic mechanisms of the cycle will be discussed including technology factors and marketing factors. It is concluded that the field programmable technology will play the vital role in the emerging digital consumer market by providing features that are "standardized in manufacturing but customized in application".
