Abstract
Integrated circuits (ICs) are having a growing impact in virtually all areas of modern society. This is especially true in the domestic arena with the introduction of ICs in home appliances, automobiles, and consumer electronics products. Industry has also capitalised on advances in the field of microelectronics to increase the efficiency of production and the quality of services in such fields as computer-aided manufacturing, robotics and data communications.
