The second half of the twentieth century and the beginning of the
twenty ?rst have been characterized by the most impressive
industrial revolution ever seen. In - proximately 40years, the
complexity of integrated circuits (ICs) has increased by a 9 factor
of 10 , with a corresponding reduction of the cost per bit by eight
orders of magnitude. Not only has this evolution allowed dramatic
progress in allscienti?c ?elds (large computers, space probes,
etc.), but also has fueled the economic development with the raise
of new markets (personal computers, cellular phones, etc.) and even
social revolutions (world wide web, global village, etc.). In last
years, however, the situation has signi?cantly changed: the
continuous scaling down of device size has eventually brought the
IC major technique, p- tolithography, to its limits. Overcoming its
original limits has been proved to be possible, but the price to
pay for that has changed the playing rules - while at the beginning
of the IC history the evolution was driven by technology, now it is
driven by economy, the cost of a medium size production plant being
in the range of a few billion dollars.
