Abstract

The discovery of the transistor in the mid-twentieth century has revolutionized modern electronics and transformed the way we live, experience, and interact with the world today. Vast developments in semiconductor materials and fabrication technologies enabled exponential growth of transistor counts and miniaturization of electronic systems, down from logic gates to integrated circuits (IC), as predicted by Moore’s law. With further advances in large-scale integration, compact packaging, high durability, and low-power design of microelectronics, electronic devices with many functionalities have become ubiquitous and embedded in all aspects of our life. They have now been applied to a broad range of ­applications, from entertainment, health-care, business development, to information technology, all converging to augment the way we interact with digital information and support our daily needs and goals.
