Abstract
It is said that the third industrial revolution is taking place today. The revolution has fully developed since the early 1970s centring around the electronics industry, including semiconductors, computers and telecommunications. The technological progress of semiconductors, especially of integrated circuits (ICs), has been the main driving force of this revolution.
I would like to thank Stefan O. Georg for improving the English presentation.
