`Highly detailed, extensively illustrated reports (scanning electron micrographs, x-rays,
`figures, tables, histograms, etc.).The reports are aimed at IC users who need reliable
`information on component quality for part qualification purposes, and IC manufacturers
`who need to stay abreast of competitive technologies being offered.

`
`The product evaluation series of reports provides construction and design analyses of a
`series of microcomputer-related products. The reports identify circuit areas requiring
`further in-depth analysis for the user's specific application. Special attention has been paid
`to unusual design and processing techniques, and to identification of functional areas for
`orientation in test pattern generation, reliability estimates and failure analysis probing.
`Unusual is understood to be atypical.

`
`Construction Analysis is a complete physical characterization of a specific circuit. The
`analysis covers x-ray, optical, scanning electron micrographs, cross sections, topological
`layout and dimensions, layer thickness, and material analysis. ESD and latchup sensitivity
`are also be included on specific circuit analyses. Some of the many uses ICE has found for
`construction analysis are: access technology, selecting preferred vendors and second
`sources, documenting process changes, background for failure analysis and patent
`investigations.

`
`Publications which provide organized examination of each major IC process, from the
`older technologies to the more recent CMOS (Complimentary Metal Qxide
`Semiconductor) and BiCMOS (Device having b_ipolar and C MOS transistors) processes.
`The processes for deposition and the reasons for the use of new materials for IC
`inetalization are reviewed in detail. Each major process from crystal growing through
`device packaging, is described with clear, concise illustrations (over 400) making it easy to
`follow the process steps. Of special interest: while the content is primarily based on silicon
`processing, the basics of gallium arsinide are covered.

`
`It has been a longstanding precedent in the U.S. semiconductor community that the
`Military Aerospace business becomes good business only when there is no mainframe
`computerfeommercial industrial business available. This was evidenced during the
`recessions of 1958, I964, I968, l9'r'0 and the slowdown of 1935. ICE had and continues to
`have Government contracts from the Departments of Defense, Energy and NASA. Within
`these contracts are the released (formerly proprietary, confidential and coded) products.
`The government code name was TASC, which is the finding aid to the coded numbers for
`specific contracts ICE held with the Government. There is an in-depth publication,
`Integrated Circuit MilitaryfAerospace Marketing and procurement Reference manual, 1938
`which was released in the 19905 concerning the protocols, arrangements, programs,
`contracts and investigations which ICE provided the US Government concerning all
`possibilities regarding VHSI (very high speed integration), the next generation of
`militaryraerospace mierocircuits and the microprocessor status report by RADC (Rome Air
`Defense Center).
`
`Specific to the TASC contracts were United States‘ Government requests of market
`analysis concerning Harris Semiconductor, lntersil, Siliconix, RCA, Precision Monolithics,
`Inc., Analog Devices, and Intel. ICE was mandated to publish the initial documents on
`beige paper stock, the other colors were sky blue, salmon, green and white. These other
`colors denoted lesser importance than beige.
