Microelectronics is a technology used in making electronic components with very small sizes, about several micrometers to nanometers.
One of the products produced from microelectronics technology is chip or integrated circuit (IC), which is the brain of various electronic devices such as cellphones, laptops, and televisions.
Microelectronics technology was first developed in 1958 by Jack Kilby from Texas Instruments.
Microelectronics chip size gets smaller from time to time, thus allowing the development of smaller and more sophisticated devices.
One of the characteristics of microelectronics technology is the use of semiconductor materials such as silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide.
The process of making microelectronics chips involves many stages such as photolitography, etching, and layers deposition.
Microelectronics is also used in various fields such as medicine, transportation, and military industry.
Microelectronics technology allows the development of very sensitive and accurate sensors, such as temperature, pressure, and light sensors.
The development of microelectronics technology has had a significant impact on everyday life, such as progress in communication and transportation.
Microelectronics is also one of the fields that continues to grow and offers many interesting career opportunities for engineers and scientists.
