Since the invention of the integrated circuit some forty years ago, engineers and researchers around the world have worked on how to put more speed, performance and value onto smaller chips of silicon. By the end of this decade (2010) we at Intel want to reach the goal of 10 billion transistors on a single chip. This is a big challenge. Today we continue to break barriers to reach this goal. This issue (Q2, 2002, Vol. 6 Issue 2) of the Intel Technology Journal gives a detailed look into the exciting advances in the areas of transistor architecture, interconnects, dielectrics, lithography, and packaging
