Abstract
INTRODUCTION
With the new age of electronics, consumers constantly demand increased output
with higher efficiency. As the industry works to meet these demands, new
materials have emerged which could change the course for the industry. With
the past year, energy efficiency has become even more important, and the most
efficient will ultimately win out.
Consistent industry growth and burgeoning technology are introduced with more
and more rapidity. With new people to drive the market, grants, and mergers
the industry will grow and continue as strong as ever.
Based on the monthly newsletter Electronic Materials Update this anthology
informs readers of the growing fields of compound substrates, dielectrics,
industry news, research, patents, metals and interconnects, nanoelectronics,
organic materials, process chemicals and gases, silicon substrates, and more.
