The advancement in silicon device technology with its associated frequency increases is having a major affects across all electronic market segments. These range from basic consumer electronics to high-performance computer and communications systems. As semiconductor ground rules and densities continue to improve, the resulting smaller chips are enabling more and more function to be integrated on an individual die; thus, enabling even smaller and lower cost chips than exist today. These relatively inexpensive parts are finding their way into affordable electronic products such as personal computers, cellular telephones, and palmtop computers.
