VLSI spin-offs and technological innovation
نویسنده
چکیده
Innovation often emerges from spin-offs and imitation. Semiconductor processing, as typified by Very Large Scale Integration, is a very mature, high-technology industry, capable of producing components with sub-micron features and extremely closely monitored and controlled chemical compositions. There are many spin-off technologies, some of which have already been adopted in the coatings and metals industries. One of the objects of a conference is to open new dialogues for invention, and this paper looks at examples drawn mainly from experience in the MEMS group at Imperial college, which are indicative of a cross-disciplinary approach leading to successful innovation.r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

متن کاملVlsi and Technological Innovation
Innovation in infant disciplines occurs most rapidly and successfully when a large number of small groups proceed independently under the motivation of market opportunity. In a few years, a substantial fraction of the engineering work force will have a working knowledge of LSI design. At the same time, fabrication areas are becoming more and more capital intensive. What is needed is a clean, st...
متن کاملGetting the right balance: University networks’ influence on spin-offs’ attraction of funding for innovation
Little research has been done on how the relationships of academic spin-off firms with their parent university influence their ability to attract funding for innovation activities. University is undoubtedly important for young spin-offs, not only because it provides knowledge and research facilities, but also because it enables access to financial capital. We drew on a sample of 100 firms in cl...
