Microelectronics can be defined as "electronic devices manufactured using semiconducting materials". A chip is a "set of miniaturised electronic circuits composed of active discrete devices (transistors, diodes), passive devices (capacitors, resistors) and the interconnections between them,...

The integrated circuit (IC) industry's role in promoting sustained economic growth makes it highly valued by governments worldwide. Based on the late-mover advantage and market failure theories, this study demonstrates the importance of government intervention in industrial technological...

Since the emergence of information technology, the integrated circuit industry has been a major contributor to sustained economic expansion. This paper proposes a theoretical model premised on the pertinent theories of technological progress in late-mover countries and concludes that it is...

This paper develops a model of international competition in an oligopoly characterized by strong learning effects. The model is quantified by calibrating its parameters to reproduce the US-Japanese rivalry in 16K R.A.Ms from 1978-1983. We then ask the following question: how much did the...

Purpose This study aims to understand how Brazilian design houses (DHs) use open innovation in joint development projects for integrated circuits. Design/methodology/approach As a research strategy, qualitative research using multiple case studies was made. As sources of evidence,...

Digitalisierung und neue Innovationszyklen stellen wissensintensive Branchen vor große Herausforderungen. Neue Innovationsstrategien und neue Geschäftsmodelle ersetzen konventionelle Wertschöpfungsmuster. Der daraus resultierende Veränderungsdruck betrifft sowohl die interne...

This paper develops a model of technological progress in the microprocessor industry that connects the seemingly disparate engineering and economic measures of technological progress. Technological progress in the microprocessor industry is driven by the repeated adoption of higher quality...

Microelectronics is a special type of General Purpose Technology (GPT), bringing disruptive innovations, not in one shot, but by successive waves for 40 years. Rational innovators maximize present value, over product cycles, before the anticipated obsolescence under Moore's Law.Among the...

"Datenverarbeitung und Mikroelektronik im Fertigungsbereich manifestieren sich im wesentlichen in numerisch gesteuerten WErkzeugmaschinen (NC-Maschinen). Heute werden beim Austausch vorhandener und bei der Installation neuer Werkzeugmaschinen sehr oft numerisch gesteuerte Werkzeugmaschinen...

"Indem die Mikroelektronik in einer zunehmend größeren Anzahl von Arbeitsprozessen als Arbeitsmittel oder Teil von Arbeitsmitteln angewandt wird, ist sie auch mit verschiedenartigen Formen der Arbeitsorganisation und der Qualifikationsverteilung verbunden. Angesichts dieser Vielgestaltigkeit...
