Abstract

Microelectronics’ impressive success can be attributed to three major factors: The transition for analogue to digital circuits as Gordon Moore predicted as early as in 1965 in his visionary paper [1] A virtuous innovation circle which fuelled the exponentional growth in revenue of this industry The decoupling of process and design flows with clear interfaces and sign-offs
