Toward Very Large Scale Integration Applications in Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
An integrated circuit design facility has been established at APL to help tap the vast potential of very large scale integrated circuits for space applications. A custom N-channel metal-oxide semiconductor chip containing 7000 transistors has been successfully fabricated by a silicon foundry using the design database produced by the APL facility. This project is a tangible step toward creating a capability that could produce innovative and otherwise unavailable solutions to spacecraft systems problems.
