VHSIC today and tomorrow
Abstract
The origin and objectives of the U.S. Department of Defense Very High Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) Program are discussed. This document describes the several phases of the program schedule and give the status of each. The phase 1 contractors, their approaches, and highlights of the Phase 1 chip sets are given. Supporting programs ranging from design and fabrication to implementation are presented. The contractors of the Phases 2 submicron technology effort are listed with their projected results. Finally the technology insertion effort is discussed, listing some systems being implemented and the payoffs of the VHSIC program.
