The State-of-the-Art of Integrated Circuits and Its Development Trends

Integrated circuit is the base of economic development of an information society.By analyzing the development law of IC's,recent progresses in the design and fabrication of IC's are described,as well as the R D of new products and market trends.The latest development trend of IC's is discussed.It is pointed out that,by combining with other subjects and technologies,new research topics are emerging.With the advent of novel materials, structures and devices,the feature size of integrated circuits keeps scaling down,and the Moore's law still works.
