Abstract :
A brief historical overview of the microelectronics of the present home entertainment LSI chips with regard to the product specifications and performance aspects of the home entertainment LSI chip sets, such as for digital cameras, home robotics and games are given in order to explore the possible killer applications as our driving force for our future semiconductor and electrical and electronic industries. SOI design in Cell Processor is one good example. But some further technology break-through may be needed for our future potential real-time AIPS/AINS applications. Here, AIPS stands for Artificial Intelligent Partner Systems and AINS stands for Artificial Intelligent Nursery Systems.
