CHIPS: A COPERNICAN REVOLUTION: Facts, people, and data, leading to the current chip war. They cover decades of experience in a complex world that is renewing ... (LabTecEng Vol. 11) (Italian Edition)

Semiconductors, an exponentially evolving industry that has transformed the global landscape by altering its traditional paradigm. We are only now perceiving the terrifying effects of this Copernican revolution triggered by Moore's Law in an unprecedented global competition commonly referred to as the 'chip war.'This book, aimed at a non-specialist audience, starts from a long way back and guides the reader step-by-step towards understanding a phenomenon that is inherently very complex. The book is divided into two distinct parts that can be read separately. The hurried reader can start by browsing through the second part, which consists of a series of images accompanied by brief descriptions. The first part reads like an adventure novel, following the path the author describes starting from his passion for the world of semiconductors that began when he was a student. It continues with a description of his activities in the real world alongside industry giants like Intel founders Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, and many others. There are also notes on the functioning of chips and their historical origin. Particular attention is paid to 'Moore's Law,' which has introduced the exponential process into the manufacturing world that has led to the current global situation. With 'Chips: The Copernican Revolution,' for the first time the world of chips is presented in its true light, as a nearly invisible creature that has invaded every corner of the world, seen here through the lens of a lifetime spent observing it.
