Thecombinationofreducedsize,increasedspeed,andincreasedcapacityofmicroelectronicsdevices was first observed by Gordon E. Moore (the legendary Chairman of Intel)who during the 1960s commented thatthefeaturesizeofsemiconductortransistorsreducedby10percentperyear.Infact,thereductionhas beenevenmoredramaticthanthat.Thecapacityofdynamicrandomaccessmemory(DRAM)integrated circuitshasquadrupledapproximatelyeverythreeyears.Theincreaseddensityoftransistorscontainedin microelectronicdeviceshasresultedinaphenomenonofvirtually“freecomputingpower.” Thedigitalrevolutionofthe1980susheredintheso-calledInformationAge,andwithitcamesubstantial growthofdatarecordingsystems,primarilyassociatedwiththedesktopcomputer.Thetransitiontodigital systemsisfarfromcomplete,butithasalreadyhadfar-reachingimpact.Perhapsmostimportantisthe nearlyuniversalusabilityofdigitalinformation.Anyformofexpressionthatcanbequantifiedcanbe turnedintoadigitalbitstream,andcarriedintandemwithanyothertypeofexpression. Computers manipulate data and in this context they can be thought of as the engines necessary to organizeandaccessinformation.Computersarerapidlychangingtheworld—fromtheworkplacetothe home—rangingfromtraditionalstand-alonemainframestoembeddedcomputationaldevices.Almost everypieceofequipmentorappliancecontainsoneormoremicroprocessors. Themarketdemandformicroelectronicshasevolvedfromlargelyamilitary-drivendemandtoonethat isnowlargelyconsumer-driven.Consequently,thedevicefeatureshavealsobeentargetedatconsumer needs, such as low power, low cost, and mass market applications, rather than military needs, such as meetingmilitaryspecificationsforreliabilityandpackaging,specializedapplications,andtheresulting highcostofsuchdevices.Theperformanceofmicroelectronicsismeasured,thus,fromtheviewpointof thetechnologicalaspectsofthedevice,aswellasfromtheviewpointofendusereffectiveness.Thegoalis toenabletheenduserofthedevicestoperformcomplextasksinamoreefficientmannerthanwhatwas previouslypossible.

This energy gap fundamentally impacts the mechanisms through which electrons associated with the crystal’satomscanbecomefreeandserveasconductionelectrons.Theresistivityofasemiconductoris proportionaltothefreecarrierdensity,andthatdensitycanbechangedoverawiderangebyreplacinga verysmallportion(about1in106)ofthebasecrystal’satomswithdifferentatomicspecies(dopingatoms).
