Historic behavior of the electronic technology: The Wave of Makimoto and Moore's Law in the Transistor's Age

摘要

The intention of this paper is to show how the history of the electronic technology can be seen, as well as science, through revolutions. Such changes can be predicted by means of two projections: Moore's Law and Makimoto's Wave. The first one, in the present of normative nature, indicates that procedure must follow the semiconductors industry. The second one, analytical, describes the industry behavior as a consequence of the observation.
