In 1983 the IEEE produced two special issues, "Micron ansd Submicron Circuit Engineering," and "VLSI Design: Problems and Tools." The contents of those issues, with the exception of two un-named papers that were considered "too specialized for the envisaged broader readership," have been republished in this publication. Addtionally the co-editors, both associated with IBM, contributed an original paper each, to bring the final number of papers back to where it began. The 25 papers - 23 reprinted, two new - have been grouped under the following topics: Overview; Lithography; Devices and Processes; Micron and Submicron Circuit Engineering - Digital and Analog Applications and Results; Modeling and Simulation of Devices and Circuits; Design Methodologies and Testing of VLSI Chips; International… Read More
