Abstract
The Semiconductor Industry is not only the driver in the Electronics Industry, the world´s largest and fastest growing industry, but is also important in its own because of its size (100 B$ today, 1,000,000 people directly involved). The growth in this industry is three-fold: By 1998, sales will grow from 100 B$ today to over 200 B$, complexity will exceed 10 M gates per IC, and the innovation rate will have to grow to over twice the level of today. Growth in sales, increased complexity and shorter time-to-market pose new challenges to the design community. Do we have an answer to this?
