Cramming More Components onto Integrated Circuits

The article talks about the advancements in technology during the earlier years, specifically Integrated Electronics. According to Moore, the future of integrated electronics is the future of electronics itself. But before discussing the breakthroughs that this technology offers, let us define what Integrated Electronics means.
Integrated Electronics aims to miniaturize electronics equipment to include increasingly complex electronic functions in limited space with minimum weight. This means that machines may grow smaller, but its functions will not change, instead, it may improve. As discussed in the article, several approaches has evolved to reach this objective. This includes the microassembly techniques for individual components, thin-film structures, and semiconductor integrated circuits. The approaches mentioned evolved rapidly and converged, which means that they borrowed techniques from one another. Combination of techniques is how the researchers perceived technology would be...
