Silicon !rea
The design o' digital :LSI circuits is the
minimiFation o' silicon area per logic gate0
Smaller area re2uirement ena-les the
'a-rication o' a larger num-er o' gates per chip0
Area reduction occurs in three different ways:
10 Through ad(ances in processing technolog"
that ena-les the reduction o' the minimum

20 Through ad(ances in circuit design techni2ues0
20 Through care'ul chip la"out0
