JPRS Report. Science & Technology, Japan, Semiconductor Industry Aims for Giga Memories
Abstract
This report contains the following sections concerning Japan's semiconductor industry and it's aims for Giga memories: (1) Semiconductor industry is also shifting emphasis from quantity to quality, (2) The 1990's as viewed by top level semiconductor makers, (3) Memory capacity will continue to expand fourfold every 3 years, but the trends of prices and external specifications will change, (4) Only a limited number of professionals will benefit from silicon compilation for LSI design, (5) Microprocessors are aimed at 1,000 MIPS processing performance and integration of 100 million transistors, and (6) There are no limits to expanding the scale of integration, but micronization will become increasingly difficult.
