内容简介

　　一本聚焦热门话题、热门行业的实力之作，完整呈现芯片发明和发展的60多年历程。

　　全书完整呈现了芯片发明与发展的历程，从支撑芯片产业发展的量子力学讲起，逐渐发展到半导体物理学，进而催生了半导体器件，这些器件又由简到繁，像一颗发芽的种子，演化出了双ji型晶体管、MOS场效晶体管、光电二ji管等，并由此集成构造出了模拟芯片（通信和传感器芯片等）、数字芯片（CPU、存储器、FPGA等）和光电芯片等。蕞后，本书还展示了芯片设计方法和制造方法由手工到自动的发展过程，并指出了芯片未来面对的挑战和可能的解决路径。可以说，了解芯片，有这一本书就够了。

　　芯片的发展史，就是一部创新史与叛逆史——详细讲述一群叛逆者突破传统、不断创新的故事。

　　作者以芯片诞生和发展为主线，将散落在世界各地的实验室、杂志、书籍或新闻报道的庞杂信息重新组织、编排，在力求准确、科学的前提下，写作了这样一本综合性作品，使得我们透过“芯片简史”这四个字，深入了解那些散落在历史深处的芯片发/明者的个人世界，体验他们在发/明中所经历的种种困苦与喜悦、磨难与幸福，与他们一起重走芯片发明之路，看他们如何突破科学研究中的困难与现实世界的阻碍，做出一项项改变甚至颠覆世界面貌的发明和创新。

　　一部跨越专业人士与大众藩篱的科技创新史，了解芯片发展历程以及看清未来发展趋势的绝佳商业图书。

　　芯片构成了现代社会正常运转的核心控制单元，影响范围涉及国家安全、商业、政治、文化等方面，没有芯片，我们现在所拥有的一切都无从谈起。为了使大众能够更加容易、更加清晰地了解芯片，本书作者在写作时做了以下努力：一是高度还原创新的历史过程，展现曾经盛行的观念和技术，以及新的技术是如何萌芽并与之斗争和蕞终突破的。二是突出作为创新者的个体，将历史的聚光灯打在实验台前的科学家和工程师身上，展现他们内心的渴望、追求、困顿、嫉妒和欣喜。三是将发明一刹那的火花清晰呈现出来。虽然知识的“剂量”被压缩，却足以激发读者智识上的兴趣，全书叙述上的惊险程度不逊于一部小说。

Content introduction

A focus on hot topics, the strength of the hot industry, a complete presentation of the invention and development of the chip more than 60 years of history.

The book completely presents the history of chip invention and development, from the quantum mechanics that supports the development of the chip industry, gradually developed to semiconductor physics, and then gave birth to semiconductor devices, these devices from simple to complex, like a germinating seed, evolved dual ji transistor, MOS field effect transistor, photoelectric two ji tube, etc. Thus, analog chips (communication and sensor chips, etc.), digital chips (CPU, memory, FPGA, etc.) and photoelectric chips are integrated and constructed. Finally, the book also shows the development process of chip design methods and manufacturing methods from manual to automatic, and points out the challenges faced by the chip in the future and possible solutions. It can be said that to understand the chip, there is enough of this book.

The history of the development of chips is a history of innovation and rebellion - detailing the story of a group of rebels breaking through tradition and constantly innovating.

The author takes the birth and development of chips as the main line, reorganizes and arranges the vast and complicated information scattered around the world in laboratories, magazines, books or news reports, and writes such a comprehensive work under the premise of striving for accuracy and science, so that we can deeply understand the personal world of those chip inventors scattered in the deep history through the four words of "chip history". Experience the hardships and joys, tribulations and happiness they have experienced in the development/Ming, and re-walk the road of chip invention with them, see how they break through the difficulties in scientific research and obstacles in the real world, and make inventions and innovations that change and even subvert the face of the world.

A history of technological innovation that crosses the barriers of professionals and the public, an excellent business book to understand the development of the chip and see the future development trend.

Chips constitute the core control unit for the normal operation of modern society, affecting national security, business, politics, culture, etc., without chips, everything we have now would be impossible to talk about. In order to make it easier for the public to understand the chip more clearly, the author of this book has made the following efforts in writing: First, to highly restore the historical process of innovation, show the concepts and technologies that were once prevalent, and how new technologies sprout and struggle with them and eventually break through. The second is to highlight the individual as an innovator, shining the spotlight of history on the scientists and engineers in front of the experimental bench, showing their inner desires, pursuits, difficulties, jealousy and joy. Third, the spark of the invention is clearly presented. Although the "dose" of knowledge is compressed, it is enough to stimulate the intellectual interest of the reader, and the narrative is no less thrilling than that of a novel.
