Abstract
The silicon microelectronic industry has gone through exponential growth in applications, complexity, density, and cost of manufacturing over the last several decades. The challenges in device physics for scaling transistors as well as the design challenges and economic challenges are reviewed and described in the context of how these forces are shaping the way we do business.
