This is a guide to the history, principles, manufacture, and applications of integrated circuits (ICs). It covers the elementary physics of semiconductors, and addresses practical issues crucial to the industry, including IC production techniques and facilities, processing, testing and packaging of chips, and reliability problems. Non-mathematical descriptions of complex topics such as silicon ICs can be easily understood by non-specialists.
