How to Build a $20 Billion Semiconductor Fab
For the last several decades, one avenue of technological progress has towered over nearly everything else: semiconductors. Semiconductors are materials that can have their conductivity varied by many orders of magnitude, which makes it possible to selectively block and allow the flow of electrons. This property makes it possible to manufacture all sorts of electronic devices, not least of which is the digital computer.

The network on chip has become essential for complex designs, but it needs to evolve to support 3D designs and enable the integration of chiplets.
