Miniaturization became a trend in the last fifty years and came to cover not just electronic but also mechanical devices. The process for miniaturizing mechanical devices is more complex due to the way the structural properties of mechanical parts change as they are reduced in scale. It has been said

initiative. The focus is to make components smaller to increase the number that can be integrated into a single wafer and this required critical innovations, which include increasing wafer size, the development of sophisticated metal connections between the chip's circuits, and improvement in the

This orientation is demonstrated in the use of vacuum tubes in the first general-purpose computers. The technology gave way to the development of 300:, engineers and designers have been exploring miniaturization to shrink components to the micro and nanometer range. Smaller devices can have lower cost, be made more portable (e.g.: for ambulances), and allow simpler and less invasive medical procedures. 561: 522: 550: 511: 216:, recognized that the ideal electrical and scaling characteristics of MOSFET devices would lead to rapidly increasing integration levels and unparalleled growth in 333: 177: 245: 1030: 775: 155:
