Large-scale integration
→
Semiconductor photolithography
depends on
Large-scale integration relies on repeated photolithography, doping, oxidation, and interconnection steps to reliably shrink and reproduce device structures.
Large-scale integration
→
Silicon-gate process
depends on
The silicon-gate MOS process increased device density and manufacturing feasibility, enabling processor logic to be consolidated into a small number of chips.
Large-scale integration
→
Central processing unit
enables
Once a single chip could accommodate more logic gates and registers, the main functions of a central processing unit could be condensed from circuitry spread across multiple boards onto fewer chips.
Large-scale integration
→
Integrated circuits
evolved from
Large-scale integration developed by increasing the number of devices on a single chip, incorporating more and more logic functions into one chip.
Microprocessor
→
Large-scale integration
depends on
A single-chip CPU requires thousands of MOS transistors to be fabricated and interconnected within a limited chip area, relying on large-scale integration capabilities.
