Schlüsseltechnik Mikroelektronik: Chancen und Herausforderungen

Microelectronics is omnipresent in everyday life, whether as pocket calculators, chip cards for monetary transactions, or as data carriers, machine controllers, telecommunication systems with various services, etc. Integrated circuits contribute in manifold ways to facilitate and accelerate work and to improve comfort and environmental compatibility. Within the next 20 years, semiconductor technology will provide a further enormous expansion of integration density of electronic functions on an IC, as well as a dramatic increase in data processing speed.
