| | Integrated Circuit Development |
 | | Once the simulated results have been verified, the tools are used to develop additional integrated circuits, with a much greater chance of first pass success than would be the case without any ability to predict the outcome of the design process. | | | Figure IC-4 shows measured results from digital integrated circuits designed in our laboratory and fabricated for us by HRL Laboratories in one of the earlier versions of their InP HBT process, showing correct operation of this circuit at clock rates of 27 GHz. | | | Figures IC-8 and IC-9 illustrate the speed-power performance of a number of different device types for known analog and digital circuits for which considerable test data exists in our laboratory for a number of device technologies, with the results from the low bandgap transistors developed from simulations. |

| | LEON RADOMSKY |
| | Before examining the nature of sui generis protection required for integrated circuits, it is important to first understand integrated circuit manufacturing and patenting processes in the semiconductor industry. | | | The SCPA arguably provides no protection to three-dimensional integrated circuit topographies if: (1) the layers or regions in later developed integrated circuits were created by maskless processes, and (2) as a result, the later developed integrated circuits are substantially different from the protected integrated circuit topographies created using mask works. | | | The development and optimization of these processes may be a well-guarded trade secret of the original integrated circuit manufacturer. |

| | computing device - definition of computing device in Encyclopedia |
| | In the 1950s and 1960s valves were gradually replaced with transistors and in the late 1960s and early 1970s semiconductor integrated circuits (silicon chips) were adopted and have been the mainstay of computing technology ever since. | | | With the exception of quantum computers the implementation technology of a computer is not as important for classification purposes as the features that the machine implements. | | | While the technologies used in computers have changed dramatically since the first electronic, general-purpose, computers of the 1940s (see History of computing hardware for more details), most still use the von Neumann architecture. |
