9.1 The progress of ICs can be characterized by an exponential increase in the transistor count and a corresponding decrease in feature size with time (Moore’s law). The economics are driven by device scaling and batch processing.
9.2 The dominant IC technology is digital CMOS, which is the basis of logic circuits (microprocessors), memories (DRAMs, SRAMs, and NVM), and application-specific ICs (ASICs).
