wever, the disparate process technologies that are required to manufacture digital
and analog integrated circuits limit the ability to develop, manufacture, and test highly
integrated systems in an economic fashion.
Therefore, the SoCs approach presents fundamental, engineering, and investment limits,
as well as computing and communication limits for wireless and wired systems over the
long run. In addition the packaging that is used to provide I/O connections from the chip
to the rest of the ...
