Dj. Williams et al., TECHNOLOGY TRENDS IN ELECTRONICS AND PHOTONICS, THEIR MODELING AND EFFECT ON MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY, JOURNAL OF ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING, 7(1), 1997, pp. 69-77
This paper briefly reviews the technology trends in digital electronic
s, mixed signal electronics and photonics as an alternative to electro
nics. These trends are examined in order to determine their impact on
the embodiment and manufacture of electronics and related products to
determine key areas for future work in packaging, assembly and manufac
turing technology. The paper also includes novel mathematical models t
hat allow the effects on underlying manufacturing technology trends to
be explored, including the effects of the application of ASICs.
