A Guide to Microelectronics in the 21st Century |
| The TRON Association will hold "21st Century Microelectronics Seminar"
on November 28 at Gate City Hall in Osaki, Tokyo. The TRON Association planned this
seminar under this title, since eyes are focused on the movement to shift toward
the post personal computer recently, and because this seminar gives a view of the
present and 21st century concerning microelectronics beginning with the microprocessor
as the key component. TRON Project Leader Dr. Ken Sakamura of the University of Tokyo will give an overview, and various domestic LSI makers will introduce the results of their respective research and development at this seminar. For further information, please see http://www.tron.ab.psiweb.com/. |
