Abstract

A short review of integrated circuit history is presented with a view in the effects of this revolution on the way of life. It goes on to say that Moore's law triggers a technology shockwave. To curb the entrepreneural risks the professional industry associations decided to anticipate the technology evolution by setting up roadmaps. The ITRS semiconductor roadmap was complemented by other roadmaps that preview the technology shockwave originating from the chip technology and propelling the product technology. The book content's focus is on devices and components for the design of systems on a chip. This chapter also presents an overview of the book contents.
