IC packaging is a technique for shielding semiconductor equipment from ambient physical damage or degradation by wrapping them in ceramics or polymer packaging materials. There are several varieties ...

In 1964, when I started working in the electronics industry, a single silicon transistor cost over £1 ($2.80 at the time, or about $22 at 2014 prices). These cheap ones were not very good and higher ...
