What are the main characteristics of microelectronics technology?

Microelectronics technology, represented by integrated circuit technology, is a new technical subject that manufactures and uses micro electronic components, devices and circuits to realize the functions of electronic systems. It also refers to the manufacturing and application technology of large-scale integrated circuits.

Compared with traditional electronic technology, microelectronics technology is characterized by miniaturization of devices and circuits. It closely combines the design and manufacturing process of the circuit system, and is suitable for mass production, so it has low cost and high reliability. With the improvement of ultra-fine machining technology, the production has reached sub-micron or even higher lithography level, and its integration has exceeded 10 ~ 10 components per chip. The rapid progress of high-quality ultra-thin oxide layer, new ion implantation annealing technology, metallization and shallow ohmic contact of high-conductivity and high-melting point metals and their silicides, large-diameter chips with good crystal integrity and low-temperature processing will greatly improve the performance of microelectronic devices and their integrated circuits. Without microelectronics technology, today's microcomputers, satellite communications and robots are unimaginable. 2 1 century, microelectronics technology is the dominant technology to change the face of production and life.
