 Integrated circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A CMOS 4000 IC Integrated circuits can be classified into analog, digital and mixed signal (both analog and digital on the same chip).
The growth of complexity of integrated circuits follows a trend called "Moore's Law", first observed by Gordon Moore of Intel.
LSI circuits began to be produced in large quantities around 1970, for computer main memories and pocket calculators.

 Mechanical VLSI
Combinations of basic components such as diodes and transistors results in new, larger scale components such as a logic gate, which can carry out a single step of logical computation.
Over the years, the integration of these logic gates has increased from "small-scale integration" (SSI, less than 10 gates) to medium-scale integration (MSI, 10-100 gates) to large-scale integration (LSI, 100-5000 gates) to today's very-large scale integration (VLSI, with more than 5000 gates).
Since these methods are approaching the nanoscale, it is reasonable to expect that the basic units of both electronic and mechanical integration will eventually reach atomic and molecular dimensions.

 Lynn Conway's VLSI MPC Adventures at Xerox PARC
As a result of the research methodology used, and the very large scale of the interactions with the university community (via computer-communications networks), the Mead-Conway design methods evolved unusually rapidly, going from concept to integration within industry in just a few years.
The projects were implemented, and the resulting feedback was used to extend, refine, and debug the text, the courses, the university design environments, and the new design methods.
Alan Bell created a semi-automated e-mail interaction interface for the MPC software server which enabled a very large scale-up in the number of users and the amount of interaction with each user.
