Development of semiconductor electronic parts processing

The most advanced semiconductor electronic components are at the heart of microprocessors, or multi-core processors, that control everything from computers to mobile phones to digital microwave ovens.

Although the cost of designing and developing a complex integrated semiconductor electronic component is very high, the cost per integrated circuit is minimized when dispersed over typically millions of products.

Semiconductor electronic components have high performance because small size brings short paths, allowing low-power logic circuits to be applied at fast switching speeds.

Over the years, semiconductor electronic components have continued to evolve into smaller sizes, allowing more circuits to be packed on each chip. This increases capacity per unit area, reduces cost and increases functionality. See Moore's Law, the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles every 1.5 years.

In short, with the reduction in size, almost all indicators improved, unit cost and switching power consumption decreased, and speed increased. However, there are also problems with ics that integrate nanoscale devices, mainly leakage currents.

As a result, the increase in speed and power consumption for the end user is significant, and manufacturers face sharp challenges using better geometry. This process and the expected advances in the coming years are well described in the Semiconductor International Technology Roadmap.

Just half a century after its development, integrated circuits have become ubiquitous, and computers, mobile phones and other digital appliances have become an integral part of the social fabric.

That's because modern computing, communication, manufacturing and transportation systems, including the Internet, all depend on the existence of integrated circuits.

Many scholars even consider the digital revolution brought about by the integrated circuit to be the most important event in human history. The maturity of IC will bring a great leap forward in technology, whether in the design of technology, or semiconductor technology breakthrough, both are closely related.
