2. What is semiconductor and LSIs
Huge number of transistors can be integrated in a small Si chip.
The size of the chip is roughly the size of nails.
Currently, 10M transistors can be integrated.
1000 times integration comparing to 20 yrs ago.
The cost of the chip is roughly same.
All electronic equipments are powered by LSIs.
PCs, Cellular phones, 3D graphics, Internet.
