The history of this book begins way back in 1982. At that time a
research proposal was filed with the Dutch Foundation for
Fundamental Research on Matter concerning research to model defects
in the layer structure of integrated circuits. It was projected
that the results may be useful for yield estimates, fault
statistics and for the design of fault tolerant structures. The
reviewers were not in favor of this proposal and it disappeared in
the drawers. Shortly afterwards some microelectronics industries
realized that their survival may depend on a better integration
between technology-and design-laboratories. For years the "silicon
foundry" concept had suggested a fairly rigorous separation between
the two areas. The expectation was that many small design companies
would share the investment into the extremely costful Silicon
fabrication plants while designing large lots of
application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC's). Those
fabrication plants would be concentrated with only a few market
leaders.
