R AND D PROGRAM TO DESIGN AND FABRICATE DIGITAL MONOLITHIC MICROCIRCUITS HAVING AVERAGE PROPAGATION DELAY TIME OF 1 NS

Abstract

Investigations were conducted toward the primary objective of fabricating silicon monolithic microcircuits with average propagation delay times in the subnanosecond region. Preliminary investigations were also made of the speed improvements obtainable by fabricating and interconnecting arrays of high performance microcircuits within a single silicon chip. High speed gates and high speed, high density arrays were the two areas stressed in the development of microcircuits centered about the high performance transistor. Improved transistors, microcircuits and a ring oscillator were fabricated and samples delivered for evaluation.
