Limitations
Microelectronics is based on the use of semiconductors, which are materials with electrical conductivity between that of conductors and insulators. The most commonly used semiconductor material is silicon. The basic building blocks of microelectronics are transistors, diodes, and resistors. These components are fabricated on a single piece of semiconductor material using various techniques such as diffusion, implantation, and lithography. microelectronics jacob millman arvin grabel pdf
