Modular approach to CMOS technology tailors process to application
tion is identified as 'compatibility', particularly of software. The impact of the human factor on the concept of an integrated office is discussed.
Using micros to manage production W CARLSON Folio vol. 13, no. I0, pp. 78-79,226 (Oct. 1984) The use of microcomputers as a production tool in magazine publishing is discussed. Use of the IBM PC and Lotus I-2-3 spreadsheet software for paper control, production scheduling and tracking the cost in producing Nursing '84 and Nursing Life is described. The development Jaffe Planning and Management Inc. of the JPM Adtrack program which tracks orders for advertisement space and the status of repro materials throughout the system is examined and users" experience is given. Manuscript management using an Alpha Micro computer and software from Waverley Press and the use of a TeleVideo system to process magazines is described. Purchase of Interactive IBM PCs by Time Inc. and Newsweek is considered. Interactive authoring system on a small personal computer A K HENNESSEY, M HARDWlCK J. Microcomput. AppL vol. 7, no. 2, pp. 123-138 (Apr. 1984) The development of the Screen Author system, a microcomputer interactive authoring system for the novice user, is explained. The facilities necessary for the creation of interactive software and interactive package development are identified. A step-by-step description of the development of the Screen Author system is given. This consists of three stages, which are: entry and storage of screen contents and dialogue; sequencing and linking the individual screen files into a single data stream; converting the data compaction table into another data stream; and loading the driver program with the data compaction and screen data streams; running and testing the interactive package. Data processing caught in the act ANON DEC Userpp. 47-51 (Dec. 1984) The implications of the Data Protection Act which takes affect in 1985 are discussed. The data protection principles to govern the use of data are summarised. The rationale underlying the Act is examined and the respective roles of the Data Protection Registrar, the data user and the data subject are discussed. The purpose of the Data Protection Register is explained. Guidance is given on necessary steps to comply with the legislation; the penalties for non-compliance are outlined. Status and prospects for gallium arsenide technology D G FISHER ElectL Commun. 58,418 (1984) Gallium arsenide integrated circuits have been shown to perform well in ultra high frequency and data rate applications. With the establishment of manufacturing capability, the application of gallium arsenide integrated circuits to a wide range of military and commercial systems applications is now a reality.

ROOP SolidSt. Technol. 147 (May 1984) Interest in extending the voltage range of integrated circuits to address applications in telecommunications, display, automotive, and motor control markets has stimulated development of new process architectures and devices. These are reviewed along with reliability and die size implications of various process steps. A simple expression for calculation of thickness limited collector-toemitter breakdown will be discussed which can be used as an aid in the design of high voltage bipolar devices. Fast CMOS logic bids for TTL sockets in most systems R E FUNK Electronics 134 (5 April 1984) Higher speeds with low power dissipation make a new breed of CMOS chips a stronger candidate than"fTL for interface-chip applications. A novel memory device for VLSI E z PROM S T HSU RCA Review45, 49 (March 1984) The structure and the characteristics of an offset floating gate electrically alterable nonvolatile memory MOSFET are presented. This device exhibits excellent asymmetrical wire/erase properties, very long memory retention time, and good endurance. The offset floating gate memory MOSFETs can be arranged in an X-Y matrix to provide an E2PROM array having a common diffusion line for adjacent columns of devices. Therefore, the cell size of the EPROM array can be very small.
Bipolar gate array delivers fast signal processing R O G E R COX Electronics 143 (17 May 1984) Board space and power consumption shrink as a fast Fourier transform lands on a chip.
Modular approach to CMOS technology tailors process to application KIM KOKKONEN and RICHARD PASHLEY Electronics 129 (3 May 1984) Despite the proliferation of applications, a few CMOS process variations can address the functional requirements of many different products.
Impact of custom VLSI technology R F PRIVETT and P VAN ISEGHEM ElcctL Commun. 58,364 (1984) The semiconductor industry forecasts that 50% of the integrated circuits used in 1990 will be application specific custom and semicustom design circuits. IIT's broad product base makes it essential for the corporation to have state-of-the-art design and processing facilities for this key technology.
