6 results about "Microtechnology" patented technology

Microtechnology is technology with features near one micrometre (one millionth of a metre, or 10⁻⁶ metre, or 1μm). Around 1970, scientists learned that by arraying large numbers of microscopic transistors on a single chip, microelectronic circuits could be built that dramatically improved performance, functionality, and reliability, all while reducing cost and increasing volume. This development led to the Information Revolution.
