Technology Constraints, Present and Future

The technology session of the Asilomar Workshop was oriented mainly towards the constraints of future technologies rather than towards discussing present generally-accepted processes. Four specific areas were highlighted: testing of micro-processors, the future of silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) approaches, the impact of integrated injection logic (I
²
L), and the role of less-high-density technologies (TTL, ECL, CMOS) in microprocessor development.
