But has this  taken us to the point of diminishing returns? Are we now at a turning  point in the logical evolution of microelectronics? Some believe that  the semiconductor microelectronics industry has matured: the research  game is over (comparisons with the steel industry are being made).  Others believe that qualitative progress in hardware technology will  come roaring back, based on innovative research. \u003cbr\u003e  This debate, spirited as it is, is reflected in the pages of  \u003cem\u003eFuture\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eTrends in Microelectronics\u003c\/em\u003e, where such questions  are discussed. What kind of research does the silicon industry need to  continue its expansion? What is the technical limit to shrinking Si  devices? Is there any economic sense in pursuing this limit? What are  the most attractive applications of optoelectronic hybrid systems? Are  there any green pastures beyond the traditional semiconductor  technologies? Identifying the scenario for the future evolution of  microelectronics will present a tremendous opportunity for  constructive action today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792341697\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1746-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 422\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311727792268,"sku":"9780792341697","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792341697.jpg?v=1771511582","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792341697","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
