Abstract
From the depths of depression after the first oil-crisis, a group of new technologies emerged like a phoenix which, spreading its wings, casts a shadow over the world. Of these new technologies, microelectronics has a very wide range of applications by its very nature. With a combination of new technological developments in microelectronics, computers, opto-electronics and communication systems, a new paradigm called ”information technology” has emerged to supersede microelectronics technology [1].
