Integrated Circuits: Symmetric Usage in Reversing Paralysis

Abstract

An integrated circuit consists of sets of electronic circuits on a small, flat piece of semiconductor (silicon) material. Indeed, there is usually a large number of tiny metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors integrated into a small chip. The results give us those circuits in are smaller, faster and less expensive than other electronic components. There are plenty of applications for an integrated circuit (IC) in a small chip. It can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer, microprocessor, and computer memory. This paper will discuss the development of the integrated circuit industry among the “Four Asian Dragons” (Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore) in the 1980s. In particular, this paper will review a Taiwan semiconductor company’s stages of development as well as its problems. It should be noted that personal comments about this business will also be included. Importantly, with regard to reversing paralysis, the application of this author’s butterfly effect philosophy will be discussed. This constitutes the so-called “Symmetric Reversing Paralysis Approach” for disabled and handicapped people.
