Microelectronics

Index

Objective: In the last lecture we discussed the use of binary numbers to represent numbers, letters, mathematical symbols, voice, and pictures. This lecture covers the current technology for manipulating the strings of binary numbers, microelectronics. Future manipulation of strings of binary numbers may be based on light circuits. The index for this Chapter is:

• Segment 1: Index
