Invited: Technological potentials of the semiconductor industry

Within the two major segments of the semiconductor business, integrated circuits are expected to continue with a much more rapid growth rising from $430 million in 1971 to $490 million in 1972. Discretes, meanwhile, will grow by approximately $10 million to $630 million, by the end of ??72. It might be interesting to look at both integrated circuits and discrete products and see where the growth is expected to take place. Both digital circuits and linears are projected to grow between 117~a nd1 2%.I nt he case of thed igitalc ircuits,the greatest growth during 1972 is expected to take place in MOS.
