Microelectronics
Public
Microelectronics is a subfield of electronics. Microelectronics, as the name suggests, is related to the study and manufacture, or Microfabrication, of electronic components which are very small (usually micron-scale or smaller, but not always). These devices are made from semiconductors. Many components of normal electronic design are available in microelectronic equivalent: transistors, capacitors, inductors, resistors, diodes and of course insulators and conductors can all be found in microelectronic devices.

IEEE Spectrum: CPU, Heal ThyselfIn the old days, computer vendors would often pull a fast one. They would tell you their system had the latest microprocessor when it actually had a cheaper, slower version running faster than the chip’s rating permitted. So the shiny, new 500-megahertz system you thought you were buying might ...
