“Marvels of Microelectronic Engineering”

Joachim N. Burghartz

Simon Deleonibus

Microelectronics have been successful in more than 50 years of continuous advancement following Gordon Moore’s vision from 1965. This progress became possible mostly through directed progress in device technology, following the ITRS roadmap. However, there were also unexpected discoveries and coincidental inventions that had a distinct and even fundamental impact on the art of microelectronics. Those achievements will be highlighted in a series of articles in the EDS Newsletter in 2018 and 2019 as outlined below:

• Overview by J. Burghartz and S. Deleonibus
• Technology Marvels
• Device Marvels
• Process Marvels
• Material Marvels
• Technique Marvels

This series of articles has been initiated by Joachim N. Burghartz at the Institute for Microelectronics Stuttgart (IMS CHIPS), and will be edited by him and Simon Deleonibus.
